Last Update:
In 2024, Elon Musk made several ambitious promises for Tesla, despite a history of missed deadlines. Key highlights include:
1. $25,000 EV: Musk initially pledged to unveil a low-cost electric vehicle but later scrapped the idea, claiming it was "pointless." He indicated that future vehicles would focus on autonomy instead.
2. Cybercab Production: Musk announced plans to start production of the Cybercab, a robotaxi without traditional controls, by 2025 or 2026. He aims for a price under $30,000 and an operating cost of $0.20 per mile.
3. Robovan Development: A prototype Robovan is in development, although specific plans remain unclear.
4. Unsupervised FSD: Musk stated that Tesla would introduce an "unsupervised" Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature and a ride-hailing service in California and Texas by 2025.
5. Optimus Robots: Musk promised that Tesla would begin limited production of the Optimus humanoid robot in 2025, with over 1,000 units expected to be operational.
Overall, while Musk's promises are ambitious, the feasibility of these plans remains to be seen, especially given regulatory challenges and past delays.
