> The price change, moving from one meme-worthy number to another, is a sign that Robotaxi is finally graduating from its initial pilot phase.

> The new $6.90 fare gets you a ride to anywhere within the recently expanded geofence. Sure as fuck doesn’t. Public can’t use these junkers.

mishap1 2025-07-15 18:27

Next week, the MyPillow special at $14.88.

jason12745 2025-07-15 18:28

As foretold by someone else…

goldenfrogs17 2025-07-15 18:28

But he still hasn't had an HBO comedy special??

roberto_sf 2025-07-15 19:05

What's the 4,20 meme? I get the 6,90 one but the other?

razor_train 2025-07-15 19:23

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420\_(cannabis\_culture)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture)), and/or Hitler's birthday.

Sorry-Programmer9826 2025-07-15 19:24

It's weed related. There are (i think false) claims that 420 was a police code for weed, and other claims about people meeting at 4:20 to smoke weed. But whatever the origins: it's weed

ZanoCat 2025-07-15 19:24

It's a Cannabis thing. It's funny to Elon.

roberto_sf 2025-07-15 19:25

Damn, he's a fucking idiot

vilette 2025-07-15 19:28

double that with the 42 from hitch hiker guide to the galaxy, but what is the 6,90 meme ?

Far_Addition1210 2025-07-15 19:32

eLMO IS COOl.

discrete_moment 2025-07-15 19:35

People meeting up to smoke at 4:20 is the real origin. There's even a Wikipedia page about it :)

Smaxter84 2025-07-15 19:35

Brilliant...In about 15million years they should generate enough revenue to justify the current share price lol

captaincmdoh 2025-07-15 19:39

Nah, its hitler's birthday. He doesnt even smoke, except one time on joe rogan. He heil salute all the time.

Conscious-Bee-5691 2025-07-15 19:46

Seems more expensive than uber even in the test phase. Its Like grok. people Like to Test it but when you See there is a similiar product thats cheaper then the Hype will be gone fast

[deleted] 2025-07-15 19:55

Clanker cars on the read, watch out!

bikesnotbombs 2025-07-15 19:55

4/20 was also hitlers birthday

roberto_sf 2025-07-15 19:56

Suits him as well

RagingDemonsNoDQ 2025-07-15 19:59

The 69 meme is a reference to the sexual position "The 69". A 69 is when the woman is on top of the man, and performs oral sex on him. At the same time, the man is performing oral sex on her. 69 is the reference as to how the bodies stack up if you put the number on the side. It's been referenced in many TV and movies. With my favorite reference being from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure".

ArQ7777 2025-07-15 20:07

Too expensive.

ZanoCat 2025-07-15 20:18

Yes, he's clearly a narcissist fascist. That much is clear. But let's also never ignore his persistent drug use though. There's a reason his face and body are shaped like a CyberTruck.

ZanoCat 2025-07-15 20:27

Elon's dream is probably to be as cool and treasured as Elmo. He'll never succeed. He's a pathetic instance of human being.

RosieDear 2025-07-15 20:29

So you get to ride in the head of the Penis shaped expanded hard-on area?

RosieDear 2025-07-15 20:29

"We'll be expanding quickly to thousands of robo-cars"

secretlyjudging 2025-07-15 20:37

The expanded geofence that doesn’t cover your destination because it ruins the dick and ball shape? Elon definitely has a fully working member. Just like the conservatives talking about the gays every day totally aren’t secretly that.

y4udothistome 2025-07-15 20:38

Lmfao

y4udothistome 2025-07-15 20:39

Exactly

jason12745 2025-07-15 20:40

I’m down for a good dick or fart joke. Thats where grandma said all the money was. Trouble is Elon doesn’t know what a joke is.

y4udothistome 2025-07-15 20:40

This is a complete joke to him

y4udothistome 2025-07-15 20:42

No shit did not know that. Good one

Horny4theEnvironment 2025-07-15 20:45

Are... Are you serious? 420...69... Is this guy 12 years old?

poissonous 2025-07-15 20:47

Working up to 14.88

Pineapplepizzaracoon 2025-07-15 20:48

Yeah imagine the reaction from the board of a real public company if you floated this pricing model idea. You w pi ups be laughed out of the room

vilette 2025-07-15 20:55

r/woosh

y4udothistome 2025-07-15 21:06

Fantastic

Schroederlaw 2025-07-15 22:08

Huge mistake to try to bring in revenue. Robotaxi is no longer a pure play. https://youtu.be/BzAdXyPYKQo?feature=shared

woolash 2025-07-15 22:13

If you watch the Rogan clip he didn't inhale yet pretends to be stoned. I bet it's a b-day reference with Elmo.

TaifmuRed 2025-07-15 23:11

It's elon musk worshipped mass murderer, Hitlers birthday. Elon musk is a true nazi and if he get more power, I have no doubt he will do ethnic cleansing.

pacific_beach 2025-07-15 23:20

That's insulting to everyone 12 and younger

AndSoISaysToTheGuy 2025-07-16 00:19

You'll be singin' a different tune when I open my Optimus handjob studio on Mars "next year"......

AndSoISaysToTheGuy 2025-07-16 00:22

I do think that truly bothers him - he's 54 years old and literally has never said anything funny in his life

iD-10T_usererror 2025-07-16 01:20

Are you telling me he isn't high and yet still that stupid? That's even more embarrassing now...

banditcleaner2 2025-07-16 01:22

And the week after, the American Party special at $48.69.

banditcleaner2 2025-07-16 01:22

Hello fellow kids

za72 2025-07-16 01:35

Robotaxi is so meta with it's pricing... this is the secret ingredient!

DangerousAd1731 2025-07-16 01:44

Weren't these going to make magical money for owners??

MarchMurky8649 2025-07-16 01:58

[Arguably he already has.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/1ltq8we/comment/n291ify/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

jason12745 2025-07-16 02:26

You must have missed the time he was wearing two hats at once.

PsychoUncle 2025-07-16 02:58

It'll take another few hundred rockets blowing up before you get there.

PsychoUncle 2025-07-16 03:01

So you can't have it on full autopilot without supervision and being nagged but it can drive you around unsupervised?

dtyamada 2025-07-16 03:18

Too bad, the share price at that point will be like 1000x

Stewth 2025-07-16 05:04

I wouldn't bet on the fact that humanity has enough time left on the clock to reach a point where Tesla has a P/E that so much as gives reality a sideways glance

mythorus 2025-07-16 05:26

And the night ride for 6,66$ sends you straight to hell

WhiskyBend 2025-07-16 06:30

It's actually only funny if it's bigger than a regular-sized hat.

joeythemouse 2025-07-16 07:40

4.20? What's it going up to, 6.90? Fuck, that man is a helmet.

who_-_-cares 2025-07-16 10:29

Just wait til they have ads playing on the screens during the drives

jason12745 2025-07-16 11:47

A la Turd Ferguson.

Lacrewpandora 2025-07-16 12:52

Well yes...if you ignore that "safety driver" in the front passenger seat.

ryan_dfs 2025-07-16 14:46

Elon thinks he’s really fucking funny. It was maybe slightly humerous the first time he did it, it’s been like 100 iterations since then and nobody at his company or board is capable of telling him it’s not and to STFU.

EmuNew2370 2025-07-16 16:21

He's a child, brilliant guy but his maturity level is stuck at 15.

Any-Lengthiness9803 2025-07-16 16:40

He further framed the upcoming robotaxi rollout as: “a combination of Airbnb and Uber,” with Tesla owners able to add their cars to the fleet and “earn money by adding their car to the self‑driving fleet.”  Earlier in 2019 and 2020, Musk made similarly bold promises: at Tesla’s “Autonomy Day” in April 2019, he said owners would be able to earn money via ride‑hailing using their Teslas. In 2020, he predicted Tesla would have “a million robotaxis on the road by the end of 2020”  —though that timeline, unsurprisingly, didn’t materialize. I can’t wait to become an Uber overlord!

AndSoISaysToTheGuy 2025-07-16 16:44

It's all part of making handjobs multi-planetary.

high-up-in-the-trees 2025-07-16 18:04

i'm a connoisseur of terrible shit jokes\*, it's timing and delivery, and they often work better as a rejoinder to someone. Not just throw the joke out there like a 12 year old who's just discovered 'naughty' jokes and mugging for your audience expecting them to find it as funny as you do. 12 year olds get a pass because, well, they're 12 but it still gets old FAST. A 54 year old man doing it makes my butthole clench and my ladyparts turn into the Sahara \*who called them vibrators and not male replacement shakes? a little original one for you

high-up-in-the-trees 2025-07-16 18:06

even the jokes he steals that do have funny bones to them, he ruins because his delivery is terrible. Fanboys might try to excuse it as ASD but we're actually way overrepresented in the comedian world

high-up-in-the-trees 2025-07-16 18:09

he puffed it like a cigar and it drives me insane that nobody seemed to notice at the time

Withnail2019 2025-07-16 18:20

Brilliant guy? He's an imbecile.

The_Lutter 2025-07-16 19:18

I know people at Tesla and they can't even get me on the list for this thing. Influencers and employees only.

AveragePegasus 2025-07-16 20:51

He never was serious, his car model spelled out S 3 X Y

PsychoUncle 2025-07-16 21:13

Wait there's a driver? Kinda insulting to call the guy a robo...

iftlatlw 2025-07-17 06:53

I fully expect this program to fail, without extensive corruption, info hiding and subsidy.

EarthConservation 2025-07-17 20:08

That's a 64% price increase in less than a month. Now that's what I call inflation!

Imper1um 2025-07-20 19:51

Only available in areas which they had LIDAR towers mounted on top of Teslas deep scan the area. So, if, today, someone say...repaints a curb, you can make every Tesla get lost.
