Tesla’s Robotaxi event is just around the corner, and folks are buzzing about what the innovative automaker might roll out alongside its much-anticipated self-driving vehicle platform. While one analyst is making some pretty bold predictions, he’s also telling investors to keep their expectations in check. But let’s be real – when it comes to Tesla, the sky’s the limit for what they might show off at the October 10 event.
Analyst’s Crystal Ball
Adam Jonas from Morgan Stanley is stirring the pot with some intriguing forecasts:
- We might see Tesla flex its muscles with its most advanced Full Self-Driving suite yet.
- Hold onto your hats – there could even be rides in a fully-autonomous Robotaxi!
Now, Jonas points out that Tesla’s got the green light to test autonomous vehicles with a driver, but they’re not cleared for completely driverless shenanigans… yet.
What’s Cooking at Warner Bros?
Word on the street (well, actually from Bloomberg) is that Tesla’s hosting this shindig at the Warner Brothers studio in Los Angeles. And get this – they’re apparently gathering data in the area. Sounds like we might be in for some real-world demos, doesn’t it? But don’t get too excited – these will likely still have a human behind the wheel.
Elon’s Box of Surprises
Jonas is really letting his imagination run wild. He’s speculating that Tesla might pull a rabbit out of the hat with some seriously out-there reveals:
“Could we see an electric plane? A boat? The latest gen Optimus robot flipping burgers at a Tesla Diner? We’re not really sure.”
I mean, with Tesla, who knows? They might just bring out all of the above and then some!
The Great Delay
Remember when this event was supposed to happen on August 8? Well, Elon Musk decided to hit the pause button. Why? Apparently, the engineers needed some time to tweak the design and make the whole shebang even more mind-blowing than originally planned. Talk about building up the hype!
My Two Cents
Now, if you want my boldest prediction (and why wouldn’t you?), I’m putting my money on Tesla unveiling wireless charging capabilities for some of their future rides. They’ve been tinkering with this tech for a while, especially after that whole Wiferion acquisition (and subsequent sale) last year.
Tesla’s been teasing wireless charging forever, it seems. Even their Chief Designer, Franz von Holzhausen, dropped hints about inductive EV charging during a chat with Jay Leno.
Enough water has passed under the bridge, and I’d bet my bottom dollar that Tesla’s ready to show off this wizardry. Now, whether it’ll be in your driveway anytime soon? That’s a whole other story.
So, buckle up, Tesla fans! October 10 is shaping up to be one heck of a ride. Will we see robots flipping burgers or cars charging without wires? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – it’s gonna be electrifying!
