Tesla has been working on modified Model Ys for its Robotaxi program

They have so many sitting around on lots, unsold, why not. Lol.

Will all those unsold cybertrucks be converted to robo garbage trucks??

What about the millions of Teslas that will run Unsupervised-FSD and make money for you as a Robotaxi at the flip of a switch? Concerned!

If you have hundreds of people gettting in and out of a normal model Y, those seats are going to get torn to shreds. They'll look like a 20-year-old beat up couch within a week. So you better redesign the seats to either take a beating or be easily replaced.

Yes, more calls!!

another Businessinsider story with "sources say" and repeat Elmo's name 10 times.

Real leather seats will resolve this issue quickly.

There’s got to be a way to retrofit an aftermarket lidar system on them

All 10 of their robotaxi ?

I think they’re gonna be neighborhood incinerators instead

It’s the software more than the hardware

So what about the Robotaxi design they announced awhile back? All the robotaxis they have been testing are existing model 3 or model y, right? That's prob an announced product that will never see the light of day.

Model Ys, and that is the best choice. A model 3 is a poor taxi, too low rear seat, difficult for overweight and older people to get in and out.

They designed a long haul truck with no room for a bed. Like it looked fancy but didn't take into account the driver.

It’s a model Y with a cool taxi decal on the side and a kill switch under the screen.

LiDAR doesn’t need cleaning.  Cameras only is a death trap . Most newer cars have cameras for backup and right turns. Dirty often and reduced visibility.

They could install Waymo
