Can we get a little more than a title describing this? It's a lot to ask to give almost no context and say "hey guys, watch this 18 minute video."

MarchMurky8649 2026-03-03 14:19

"John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how one of the “Elongelical” Tesla influencers, Whole Mars Catalog, by his own recorded words, must be disappointed by Tesla’s slow process of its Robotaxi service, as it still only seems to have one unsupervised robotaxi operating at a time in Austin. According to the Robotaxi Tracker, all the rest are still supervised, both in Austin and in the Bay Area in California. JJ also looks at what some other Tesla influencers are saying, and also come Tesla critics." - from YT video description. Mostly the video is a roundup of Tesla robotaxi news with a focus on its lack of progress cf. claims made for it.

Basically a Tesla influencer set a goal post. If tesla didn't get robotaxi working without an aid/monitor then he would consider it a failure. This is in the first minute of the video. And that's all I watched. So, is the eventual Robotaxi failure big enough to bring down the meme stock?? 🤔

If there's only one unsupervised robotaxi.... then I'm gonna bet that's because it is REMOTELY supervised.

I can't imagine having the kind of time on my hands I would need to watch videos of some rando breaking down some old podcasts from some other rando.

Nah, Elon is an llm from the future who knows exactly what lies to tell

SuperF91EX 2026-03-03 14:44

I have plenty of time on my hands, just dgaf about the current ElonScam

MarchMurky8649 2026-03-03 15:03

I saw an amusing comment on a YouTube video recently suggesting there was only one because Elon was remotely driving it himslef!

Smartimess 2026-03-03 15:05

What kind of loser ass simp name is "Elongelical"?

torokunai 2026-03-03 15:18

Seeing its joke of a rollout in June made me buy $6000 worth of overpriced March OTM puts in July (which I got wrecked on) . . . in the July Q2 EC Elon actually promised nationwide 50% "availability" by the end of the year, he ofc failed miserably on that, but in January the stock was still up +50% since July regardless.

I like branch elonians

>If tesla didn't get robotaxi working without an aid/monitor then he would consider it a failure. But.. it is working right now

TSLA is currently at 375:1 Price:Earnings. It takes 375 years to make back an investment in TSLA! Even the very hyped NVIDIA is only at 47:1. And they atleast sell stuff that works and are still unmatched in their Tech. To bring Tesla's value in line with other car manufacturers it would need to drop down to ~8$. It currently sits at 383$.

One twitter loser setting goals for multibillion global company, then another youtube looser munching on it for 18 minutes straight. Yeah, quality content.

praguer56 2026-03-03 16:00

T$LA is up this morning. Of course!

zech83 2026-03-03 16:21

You're not factoring in their growt... o wait....

gwenver 2026-03-03 16:22

When you just know it could be summarised in a sentence or two.

zech83 2026-03-03 16:23

I also like to light money on fire for the right reasons. I think I'll stop funding Democrats in TX before giving up puts on Tesla though.

JoeFlabeetz 2026-03-03 17:20

Sure sounds like Elon deserves that trillion dollar pay package. /s

plzd13thx 2026-03-03 17:52

do you remember the time elon and his twitter shills announced a new version of FSD almost every week and said this one and i quote "will blow your mind" but it never really got even close to good? Long time no mind blowing since then because their software still is level 2 autonomy.

Logical_Historian882 2026-03-03 19:28

So the recipe of being accurate is to take Elon’s promises and take the worst case scenario of what may happen 😅

SundayAMFN 2026-03-03 19:37

18 mins? You'd need to have about 18 minutes of time on your hands to watch this video. You could even do something else while watching it cause it's mostly audio!

afnj 2026-03-03 20:09

Rule 5

DreadpirateBG 2026-03-03 20:15

Basically everyone with half a brain predicted robo-taxi failure.

Safely tucked away at the state psychiatric hospital.

LardLad00 2026-03-03 21:27

18 minutes of quiet reflection would be substantially more valuable than consuming this crap.

Engunnear 2026-03-03 21:43

Where is there a Tesla robotaxi operating without a monitor?

Master_Ad_3967 2026-03-03 21:46

On the flipside, thats exactly what Tesla Fans do: One twitter loser setting goals for multibillion global company, then another youtube looser munching on it for 18 minutes straight. Yeah, quality content.

RipperCrew 2026-03-04 00:06

I did see a video of a driverless Robotaxi, but it was being followed by another Tesla. People are claiming that the Tesla following had the monitor.

Material_Key5935 2026-03-04 00:37

Surprising amount of people with less than half a brain.

b0bx13 2026-03-04 04:36

Fortunately, Tesla Goalposts™️ are powered with SpaceX engines

GamerTex 2026-03-04 04:43

Austin has at least one. Dirty Tesla used it a few days ago

Engunnear 2026-03-04 05:19

Austin has one with an observer in a trailing vehicle. Try again.

SensitiveFollowing24 2026-03-04 05:43

Fund Jasmine though - she will kick a\*\*.

nameless_pattern 2026-03-04 05:53

Elon is Rokos' douchebag confirmed

GamerTex 2026-03-04 07:46

Nope. Update your bs

Opcn 2026-03-04 17:41

So long as he keeps the price ballooned there are a lot of people who only really care about the price who are happy to pay him to keep it going.

Engunnear 2026-03-05 00:33

Got a better source than some fanboy dipshit on Xitter?

DickWhittingtonsCat 2026-03-05 12:34

As long as the goal of removing car ownership and public transportation from play and forcing everyone to subscribe to an autonomous cab monthly or lease brickable/geofenced conveyance remains in play, the stock will remain high. Remember this when the drumbeat of moral panic about humans being much to uncouth to be trusted to drive their own vehicles starts in 3-5 years.

Inflation_2022 2026-03-05 21:10

If only his robotaxi could prove it was safer than human drivers. Turns out it gets into 4-8 times as many accidents per 100k miles driven
