Tesla's New Robots and Vehicles Spark Skepticism

Elon Musk unveiled Tesla’s new autonomous vehicles, the 'Cybercab' robotaxi and 'Robovan', at the 'We, Robot' event, promising a transformative future in urban mobility. The Cybercab, projected to cost under $30,000, aims to redefine transportation with its fully autonomous capabilities and inductive charging, raising skepticism about its ambitious timeline and practicality. Similarly, the Robovan is designed for high-density passenger transport, but investors remain cautious due to Tesla's history of unmet promises. Additionally, Musk introduced the Optimus humanoid robots, priced between $20,000 and $30,000, intended to perform everyday tasks and interact socially, claiming it will be Tesla's biggest product yet. Despite the spectacle, including dancing robots and futuristic presentations, Tesla's stock dropped due to concerns over the feasibility of these innovations and lack of detailed implementation plans. Industry experts and investors are divided, with some seeing potential while others remain skeptical of Musk's ambitious claims.
