- nick111631 2y agoLove the fastback look. The curves in stainless look way nicer than the angular cybertruck. (viewing online, not in person)
- porphyra 2y agoLooks very similar to the Volkswagen XL1, including the butterfly doors, the lack of a rear window, the color, the front and rear lightbars, and the overall shape and two seater layout. But I love it.
- zaroth 2y agoLooks like VW sold 250 of them (ever) for $125k a piece. Tesla will apparently be selling it for $30k before the end of 2016. I’m super curious about the induction charging rate! The robot they showed cleaning it was also pretty interesting.
- lern_too_spel 2y agoYou can if you attend one of the next 10 annual Tesla robotaxi announcements.
- karlgkk 2y agoIt's a slick design, but unless it's expected to be used in very limited scenarios, the lack of a control surface (or even how Tesla expects to build an OC) for edge cases is worrying.
- Marsymars 2y agoI expect that the general handling of edge cases for any control-free robotaxi is that you call for emergency services, or an Uber, depending on severity.
- karlgkk 2y agoThe control-free stuff they're rolling out is generally being trialed or used on very narrow routes - roads where they've even built mild infrastructure to make it easier for AVs.
- rpmisms 2y agoAn emergency joystick would be pretty cool. Actually, a joystick to give the driving AI input would be great too. "Maybe squeeze a little farther left here". "Slow it up, the road is sketchy here". "It's safe, drive faster".
- mvdtnz 2y agoBold to assume it will go into production.
- mavhc 2y agoJust like the cybertruck, this is a concept car that will never be sold in real life
- qwerpy 2y agoIt’s amazing the shared delusion that my entire family participates in. My kids somehow get driven by a vaporware FSD to school every day in a car that I was told will never exist let alone be allowed on streets.
- hindsightbias 2y agoWhere does my luggage go?
- porphyra 2y agoThe back opens up to reveal a huge trunk that can store lots of luggage. They showed it during the livestream. Pic here https://x.com/sawyermerritt/status/1844583051449467202?s=46 https://x.com/sawyermerritt/status/1844583051449467202?s=46
