Musk says Tesla's robotaxis will be widespread in the U.S. by the end of this year

Sure, Elmo.

Wasn‘t half of US population supposed to have access to robotaxis by end of 2025?

Maybe he means they’ll explode in a wide spread.

He has one, in Austin, with a chase car, so as yet unable to scale or make any money.

Musk says basically means that anything after will just be a random word generator

You aren’t supposed to remember the old lies.

Like his starship

In the history and projection of ain’t gonna happen, this ain’t gonna happen the most.

Stopped reading after "Musk says"

Falling upward in America is REAL.

It’s January and already he’s saying by the end of this year lmao

Nobody believes you Enron Musk.

Highly doubt that is a true statement

"Widespread." That's what happens when a car gets flattened under a semi.

lol nope

How gullible do you have to be to actually believe that?

When the timeline is under a year it's probably a scam rather than a lie, subtle difference I know.

Why is his face getting larger and larger and larger?

I want nothing to do with this racist pig! I'd rather catch a bus! Th me UK and Germany are considering whether they are going to ba his X, because he is always trying to sow discord between whites and anyone else! That South African Apartheid Era bullshit!

Let's see if any survive this weekend

Like Trump

Trying to pump before earnings

promise, definitely for sure this time

So the takeaway is that Robotaxi will not be widespread in the US by the end of this year.

Bruh, stop making stuff up

I would never, ever, ride in one of these because of him specifically

Well he hasn't missed a date yet!

Then next year, and the year after that, and the year after that

The pump goes brrrrrrr before fiscal results for last year come out.

Well you would if you moved to Austin.. kazaah!

Which year

*Everywhere but states that have mandatory reporting for AVs

They will be hiring a lot of remote drivers.

Hahah just like how he promised FSD working by 2019 in 2016? And it’s still beta !

I want some of the hallucinogens Elmo is taking!

End of the year... Every year 😂

Lol

Does anyone actually believe this dumb fuck?

Is there anywhere I can place a bet that this won’t happen? I would love to pay off my mortgage

Always handy to have a CEO fluent in Lorem Ipsum.

Elon "Mars 2018" Musk? How's that hyperloop coming along buddy

This old record keeps skipping to the beginning.

BWAHAHAHA! 😂 It's Groundhog day!

also, tesla failing to scale, as waymo is scaling on paid rides! See also tesla sales are reverse scaling.

Baboso

Right and self driving cars by 2018.

When are we going to get back to half-way responsible journalism that doesn't report on people like this who have repeated shown to have no credibility whatsoever?

Accelerating AV rollouts to pump your stock price is really fucking dangerous business.

More from the king of delusion. Well maybe the crown prince, the delusion is strong in the orange one

Does anyone actually believe this shit?

It's a lie but with a higher desperation level.

His nose is anyway.

ok, I snort laughed 😁

Widespread BS.

He says a lot of stuff.

To manage the self driving cars...right

He's given the world on hell of a blove job.

Always this year

What a fkn joke. 10yrs of the same BS and the stock pops every time he spew lies

To verify, check the media in Bangladesh to see if they are hiring remote operators.

Yeah, he means Neptune’s year

100% bullshit

I'm not sure anymore who is stupider, those who believe Elron, or Elron himself from believing that people will believe him.

lies from a liar

*Musk puts finger on temple of his forehead*: “I predict that in the year 2064, Mars will be fully colonized by Optimus robots working and sending their salaries back to Earth as remittances to their owners!” He’s basically the psychic from the movie Ed Wood at this point.

Maybe we should put his stuff up on all the prediction markets and see how many fools will bet on Enron.

And most likely controlled by a person with a VR headset in a Tesla office in Austin.

They won’t. And will he ever have his feet held to the fire over yet another unfulfilled promise? Nope.

liar continues to lie. somehow this is news.

Oh, there’s an endless supply of believers.

I wont be using them

Sure buddy

Why keep printing this stuff without including the basic context in the headline. Like it’s not a story that he said this. Bc he says it all the time. The story is “Musk makes same promise again, after failing the last 8 times”

if you had to guess what year it was based on elon's bullshit robotaxis claim, it would be somewhere between 2019 and 2026. and he's still lying.

reverse scaling lmao

Musk says an astounding amount of shit.

We 2018 again?

lol he would never say 2064. That is honestly not even an absurd example of what he might promise. He would def say something along those lines. But he would say that it would be by 2035.

So he’s deploying a bunch of human driven taxis to be run by end of year. Got it.

We can replace him with chatgpt

No. They won't. Unless Musk is working with a definition of the word "widespread" that the rest of the world isn't aware of. Does it mean "virtually fucking nowhere" in your world Elon?

Why would anyone want their mass surveillance robodrone reporting everywhere you go

I was told it was last year

It's coming next year! since 2019

instead of doubling every few years they are falling by 20% a year.

Crash Tesla share price already, so fucking tired of this casino bullshit

Lololololololol (deep breath) lolololololololol

X - Doubt

Two years? Ten years ago he said your car would pay for itself by being a Robotaxi. Who lies more? Musk? Or the Orange Shitgibbon?

Or 2069 because he’s such a dork.

Still waiting for the roadster

He says this BS, right before every earnings report to pump the stock. There’ll be NO “Robotaxi” fleet by the end of the year. “Widespread”. Maybe a dozen. That’s about it. Same lies about it like the last three years.

For Elon, it’s been “Ground Hog Day” since 2016. It’s beginning to remind me of Trump’s healthcare plan that’s bigger and better than Obamacare.

If you give this fascist man baby a platform you are an idiot

This Christmas, I encountered distant relatives who worship him. They also don't follow any business/financial news, and don't have enough savings to move the stock.

Sure Jan

So’s herpes. The point is?

Still waiting for FSD not supervised

If there is anything that has brought me optimism in the last few years, its that there will be a lot of downfalls to watch and celebrate in my lifetime, and I'll take a day off for Elon's

God, help us.

He's going to have Tesla buy demand for production to show a YoY sales growth, whether this robotaxi promise happens or not. Quarterly gonna be bad.

Why is CNBC reposting articles from three years ago?

I read this as roboTAXES.. we need robotaxes by the end of this year.

I mean, we do have Waymo. I don’t know what its footprint is though. I see them everywhere in LA though.

What is the over under on deaths from this plan?

If widespread in 11 months, I would think I would see one here and there right now

Or drives into a blue wall because it thinks it’s the sky.

Naziship*

Ah the famous Tesla will generate you revenue

Musk says he stubbed his toe and now his head aches.

2056....maybe. At this stage, he's run out people that would belive him at all.

Riiiiight.

How far behind is Tesla? If they actually complete 500,000 *paid, autonomous* rides this year they will have less than a 1% market share. They would need to get to 5 million to even be on the list of second tier companies.

His promises are just as worthless as Trump's

Baaaaahahahahahahahahahahajhahaaaaaaaaaa

It was supposed to be that way twice last year and isnt. Tesla hasn't even been able to get car to safely taxi a single person without the car needing a safety monitor. So instead of being a robo taxi, ita jusy a stupider versions of thr taxis we've had forever. I wish this guy would shut the fuck up already. How does anyone still believe *anything* he claims?! Hes been wrong like 97% of the time. I cant even think 9f a single claim his companies have made about their future and/or product/service that was actually correct at the time he claimed it. So its not like he gets it wrong *every so often*, he gets it wrong all the god damn time!!!!! Why?!

I wonder if he’ll turn all those unsold Cybertrucks into robotaxis as well 🤔

We'll also get the roadster 2.0, men on mars, and the Donald Trump Made in America phone.

Send this turd to Mars already.

LMAO

😆😆😆🤪

Oh sure, sure.

Elon must be great at algebra since he's quite fond of ***n + 1***

There will be no widespread robotaxi services by the end of this year. And I think I can keep that promise to you, fElon.

Too bad because I’ll be on Mars like he said

Does he ever get tired of missing targets? I know it keeps the stock up but there is more to life than money. ;)

Groundhog Day is 2 weeks away

I hate how MSM just reports whatever nonsense he says. I mean, they qualify it with "Musk says", but Musk should have destroyed his credibility at this point. Write articles about what Tesla actually releases.

Couldn't even deliver half of Central Austin.

It was a million robotaxis on the road by end of 2020.

He didn't say "Robotaxis." He said "Fuego Takis," and he's right. They're available in a gas station near you.

“Musk says” Thats the clue it’s all bullshit.

more horse shit

And last year and the year before that and the year before that, etc.

Yeah the attention capture he has is insane.

Just wait for the next year, and the same old tired statement will get repeated… it is a broken record, going around in the same groove, again and again… but some people hear a different tune, each time it repeats the turn…

They do! Just fly down to Austin and take a ride in the geo fence.

Now I can finally realize the investment returns on my FSD purchase! To the moon!

In 2020 he said Tesla's Autopilot was *months away* from fully autonomous driving. That was six years ago. Going by that, in 2032 robotaxis won't be widespread in the streets. Actually, someone who looks at that crap knows they never will.

Elmo saying something highly regarded as usual

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[approximate knowledge ](https://imgur.com/frank-human-boy-lA7Wu)

Lies

Exactly. The last time he was on Rogan he was teasing Joe that there was going to be some huge reveal by the end of 2025, IIRC, Joe thought it might be a flying car (lol). Musk doesn't mean anything he says.

100% this. It pisses me off no end to see news sites parrot Musks lies. Electrek is about the only site that offers reasoned critiques.

I think half of the US population is supposed to be living on mars by now.

Two weeks!

Framework of a deal.

Lying liar lies again. This news and sports at 11.

I suppose Jesus Christ is making his return this year as well

Hey he can’t use “robotaxis” or “cybercabs” I believe that is a Trademark infringement.

Ooh. One of Elon's classic "next year" lies. Translated: Yeah right.

What’s shameful is journalist always report this nonsense from him.

Liar, pants on fire, Elmo

I’ve heard this one before

Musk said Hitler didn’t actually murder millions of people. Fuck him and his shit cars. I hope BYD bankrupts Tesla.

Musk says blah blah blah blah. There, got you all caught up

"two weeks"

Tesla earnings call is coming up, so cue all the ridiculous lies. And sheep will believe it as gospel.

Aren't we still paying Musk $ billions to put a man on the same moon he promised would happen in 2022 ? Liars gonna lie

Musk lies again

They were supposed to live in mars colonies by 2021.

That'll do I guess lol

And can you PROVE half don't have access yet? This is where Musk's genius triumphs, and this /r reveals itself to be imagination and vision deficient. Less typing, MORE KETAMINE! \- sent from Mars

Good article Points out the past lies and missed targets 👍

He’d definitely say April of 2069 so the articles would say 4/2069 🤦‍♂️😂

Lol is this article from 2022? Because...deja fucking vu

Musk says (insert lie).

They won't even be widely available in Austin!

I’m starting to think he is overestimating things.

Also, by 2027 we will have been contacted by aliens and they will say Musk is one of them

Exponential decay.

Whew. Finally.

Third world worker in India or Bangladesh. Someone he can pay $2/day.

Another unreasonable timeline promise he cant keep

post to X to doubt

I just love it when he puts on that deep thinker pose. God, this clown is so pathetic…

FSD is very close its about to be ready for full unsupervised - 2016, 2020, 2022, 2023 So yeah

Yes, they’re called Waymos.

Yeah. I’m still waiting for my Mars colonies.

Hyper loop?!?

Lies… all lies all the time

I'm saying flying cars will be widespread by the end of March.

His robotaxi dream is as likely as the 1950's fantasy of a future sky filled with commuters in flying cars instead of road traffic. His Mars colony is another of these mid-century science fiction fantasies , along with his dreadful , doomed Cyber Truck and Full Self Driving into a fiery , inescapable fire ball.

I think this will be the last year he can even hope to get away with this BS. There is too much progress being made by the saner competition, and too many rats deserting his sinking ship. I might be wrong, nothing will surprise me very much, but more and more people are getting firsthand experience of AVs, all from other players; it's not 2016 any more when we all thought "Wow, that's amazing!"

Glitch in the Matrix.

Criswell has a better track record than Musk.

Sure Jan…

Before or after FSD?

Doubt

They will we be wide spread, but they will not be Tesla's.

Sure dude

If only this were the case.

He's going to put them in Cracker Jacks.

*”say the line, bart !”* full self driving 2017

Gotta keep hype alive so he can swindle some more shareholder dollars.

Elon talking as always

Just like full self driving, any day now.

If their sales keep falling, will they park the excess unsold vehicles on the streets and claim them as robotaxis? In that case he may be right.

And Space X is lunching to Mars this year, which he said last year.

What year was my Tesla supposed to become an appreciating asset again?

After we progress back out of the dark ages and a descendent of Thomas Paine rereleases Common Sense

No, they won't.

lol ok

"Common" sense isn't very common.

Already past its halflife.

Too expensive. They'll open a control center in Bangladesh.

How’s that fully autonomous driving going?…a decade in to promises at this point.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Lets see how they do in the upcoming storm. FSD is barely capable in the best of conditions. Heavy rain, fog, snowstorms its lost. Even lidar struggles in extreme conditions. Cameras alone not a chance.

And i'm santa claus!

For me to poop on!

Please no! A Tesla just killed someone in my town. Literally slammed into a pedestrian at a red light!

Can’t believe the stock hasn’t tanked due to musk’s ties to the worst president of all time. Why would any customers stick with Tesla after that?

They could be free and it wouldn’t affect my life.

What great news! His fan bois mist be swooning over this news Stock to the moon

In United States of Angola… maybe..

That is why Thomas Paine wrote it in 1776.

I don’t know that’s not like him. I think he’s say 2029, but if not then certainly fist half 2030.

I’m predicting musk will keep making bad predictions. I also predict we will see less and less Tesla vehicles being sold. I also predict Musk’s baby mama’s various support payments will be dwindling soon.

Proven liar spouts bullshit again which is faithfully reported by credulous media. More at 11

I will never set foot in one.  Not giving this charlatan any of my hard earned money

Even if this happened, which it won't, he's alienated his customers in cities. I'm not getting into a nazi taxi.

I think you misspelled “Musk lies…”

Lol, they literally haven’t produced one working prototype yet

Or 2028 cuz he don’t give a fuck

Sure. Put money on it, Musk. I'll bet you a BILLION dollars they won't. but your deadlines always mean nothing.

No, they won't.

If you believe this, I have ocean front property in Nevada to sell you.

Lol

Lies. Just like all Teslas will be making money for people while they sleep/ work

Nazi-radamus should pick time much farther into the future when he speaks his nonsense.

News flash, he lies.

PUMP THE STOCK

They are all over phoenix now too.

Yes we’re on the new lies now

Too bad your post in X is immediately shadow banned

Our police department ordered five

have a great day

😂 hilarious in the meantime… really obnoxious hilarious with a poo 💩 taint

"in two years..." In 2017. https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

Grok, generate a list of all the lies that Musk has told.

[ Removed by Reddit ]

What better sight than a lying piece of criminal fraud panicking. Keep it up Elon!

Who remembers when Leon called Trump the biggest "bullshitter". I think it was actually a compliment in retrospect. they both know the pump game really well. Trump with the " plan will come out in about two weeks" is a high bar to top.

Take the day after. For the hangover

Deez nutz about to be widespread in this country, too... 🧸

With 2 chase cars behind each one? 😂

He said that last year.

Sure they will.

The stock price has been passing $450, increasing by $30 in a single day. In the history of predictions, this must have been close to being the most lucrative prediction ever!

It worked. Look at the stock price.

Yes Jan

Stock jumps 5%?

4,15% it seems. Lies work

How is this not market manipulation? I don't understand...

It is. But it doesn’t matter when the ruling elite is on it also.

Next goal to make them compulsory to use. Some early glitches like people disappearing in a ball of fire caused by automatons having a glitch be simply disregarded for the cause of prolonging the idiocy of this sore individual

Boo-shit

Haha. For sure they will. Heard all this before.

Sure dork, sure

Leon hasn't been to Boston. Good luck.

the richest man Elon was also working with Trump to cut AIDS medicine to the poorest millions of people in Africa. Let that sink in. Removing $1 subsidised AIDS medicine. Reportedly linked to a few 100k deaths already. Oh, and also predicting that robots will mean in the future we will have rising productivity and rising salaries. The future is wonderful - just work a bit harder today. think the pigs in Animal Farm said something similar!

Doesn’t matter. I will never use a musk product.

Another day of “Elon Musk says” and not “Elon Musk Arrested”

Look, at least half of the US population has the physical ability to drive to Austin and get in one of the handful of robotaxis that exist there. Surely that counts as "Access". You shouldn't be denigrating the words of our Lord and Savior. Just trust in the processs, and he will deliver unto us a utopia the likes of which the world has never seen, by ~~2020 2025~~ 2030.

Lmao, if its software is anything close to 14.2.2 this is the biggest joke I’ve heard to date🤣

It's like my contractor saying my house would be renovated by Christmas..... just didn't say which year

It definitely appears trump junior is just as delusional

Don’t bet on this or any other Musk promise.

He and Trump are cut from the same cloth. Make up lies and profit from the government while complaining about government fraud and waste. They are both fraud and waste

Which year?

Uhu, coughdogecough

why does no journalist ever call out Musk on his constant lies? instead they all print it as news, stock jumps.

Narrator voice: Robotaxis would not in fact become widespread by the end of the year.

I just had de Javu of him saying this back in 2020 lol. Are we all going to get an optimus robot this year too?

he says that every year

Has anyone caught the cognitive dissonance in the latest news? Robotaxis are ready to go, FSD is almost perfect yet somehow they are planning on charging more for FSD as it evolves. What the hell is it evolving into? It's supposed to drive the car and is apparently already capable of doing that. So why in the world would you pay $100/month now and what in five years when it drives without maiming people you are going to be expected to pay more?

No thanks

I guess this is the cue to his followers to buy more tesla stock so that he can take the money and burn it in the grok furnace. if they ever materialize, Robotaxis will end up being used as golf carts at spacex and tesla campuses just like the cyber truck 💩

Never trust anything this incompetent fool says.

Duffman says a lot of things!

counterpoint: he's a drug-addled fascist who always lies

Got to clap!

No one is going to use a Musk product in the markets where these taxis would be available. Assuming they actually arrive on the market…

It's always coming next year.

People who live in Austin almost never see them and can never get one. There are reportedly only about 6 that are active at any given time. About 30 in total. According to Seig Heil Musk, they were going to be serving half the US population by the end of 2025. 🤡

I believe that is exactly what they are doing. Not necessarily based in Austin though, or even the US.

Everything musk says is complete bullshit maybe 2030

Why do we listen to Nazi American youth?

My predictions for 2026 are 1. Tesla FSD won't be up to the task for robot taxi. 2. Tesla lawsuits will take the shine away from riding in what could be an ai driven coffin. 3. The Roadster wont be released this year. 4. Starship will still not achieve 100% successful launch and deployment that doesn't end in an explosion.

Liar

Did anyone call for robot cars? Besides Lyft, Uber, and all truck driving companies.

I will never have anything to do with any of his products.

Elonniecabs?

More like next century

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Weren't there supposed to be a million by 2020? 🤔

yeh no

Dude, you just killed autopilot! Hope you enjoy your earnings call!

I'm not using one of those death traps.
