Tesla Robotaxi Demand Is Booming (Reporting from Austin, Texas) 🤠

from HyperChange · host Gali

Just got back from 4 days in Austin, Texas testing Tesla's Robotaxi network. It was very interesting to show the app to my friends and see their reactions and compare the experience with Waymo/Uber. Robotaxi demand was very high because of low prices, and this mean that about 50% of the time I was unable to call a car due to "high service demand", the other 50% of the time Robotaxi was available with a ~15 minute wait time. I'm STOKED to see this expand! It may take some time, but this will truly transform transportation as we know it ... especially if the price sticks! What are your thoughts on the Robotaxi rollout so far.0:00 Just got back from Austin0:40 Official Robotaxi data2:48 Tesla Robotaxi review vs Waymo & Uber4:59 Robotaxi demand is off the charts7:28 Funny Robotaxi Supervisor story9:06 Watching Robotaxi develop over timeMy X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: I'm long Tesla stock and nothing in this show is financial advice.
