Elon Musk revealed a prototype of the long-awaited robotaxi at a Hollywood film studio - but investors aren’t wowed.

They’re also a dumb design for a taxi
Actually embarrassing to look at.
At least the Cybertruck was going for that dystopia look. This just looks like trash.
Trash that’s a rolling liability case, no emergency controls, seriously?
I don’t even so much mean the look, it’s just impractical for a taxi; it seats two people, with minimal luggage space.
Presumably Musk doesn’t think about things like going to the airport with your spouse and kids because none of his kids want anything to do with him, and going to the bar with friends because that would require friends
Yes he does.
You have to get at least three taxis to go to the airport: one for the parents, one for the kids and one for the luggage. That’s 3-times the sales as a regular taxi.
Check mate!

During the event, it was also mentioned that the existing Model 3 and Model Y vehicles would be used as taxis, which could transport 3 to 7 passengers at a time.
Tbf, cyber truck also looks like trash
It’s peak capitalism - a man of sub-normal intelligence was born into wealth, further expanded that wealth by using it to exploit the work and intelligence of others, until it grew large enough to entirely shield him from the consequences of his actions - all as his ego inflated to such fragility that he had to surround himself with nothing but sycophants and yes-men. When he decided to crack out the crayons and design his own Canyonero to prove his intelligence (and ability to meme with his fellow kids at 50-something years old), there was no one left to tell him no… Until he encountered insurers, the EU, a mild hill, a sprinkling of rain, or anyone looking at it without gushing adoration.
