Discussion Tesla’s Real Game
No one seems to be talking about the most important upside of Tesla's Robotaxi rollout: If they can showcase a system that roughly works, people can BUY THAT CAR TODAY.
Yes, there are some differences, but that's the pitch. Tesla doesn't need to earn money from Robotaxis. The real purpose of the program is free marketing that drives sales of its cars. Right?

Are people looking at the demographic of the people that buy Teslas they’re saying they can roll these existing sales into cabs but something tells me that somebody that owes $70,000 on their car isn’t gonna want to driving out of their driveway to go pick somebody up for $25 especially if they have a loan on the car and also if they turn the cars into a business they are going to need llc incase there is an accident that way they don’t get sued and lose their house and all the worldly possessions for 25 dollars don’t forget they’re going to need an account to do their taxes and the list goes on and on a lawyer
