    I sold the rest of my shares when the robotaxi was announced

    Which time? Because that’s been announced multiple times a year since 2014.

      Fair question. I meant the most recent one, which is supposedly a purpose-built machine. Other times it was just “you’ll be able to make your Tesla earn money for you by driving around by itself”. This time I expect them to trot out some cyber-looking box with no motor, break a couple windows, and claim it’ll be on the street in a month.

        You haven’t paid attention long enough. They have talked about a purpose built vehicle multiple times, they’ve talked about owners operating vehicles in a pool, they’ve talked about Tesla owning and operating vehicles, none of this is new. They’ve lied about this for a decade, but for whatever reason people keep believing.

        I’m glad you see the con for what it is.
