TESLA MODEL 2 vs ROBOTAXI

Image
  GROK Cost The Tesla Robotaxi (also known as Cybercab) is projected to cost under $30,000, with some estimates placing its build cost around $25,000 for high-volume production. This positions it as an ultra-affordable autonomous vehicle optimized for fleet operations, with operating costs as low as $0.20 per mile due to no driver, efficient EV design, and inductive charging. In contrast, the Model 2 concept—originally envisioned as a $25,000 compact EV—has evolved or potentially merged with the Robotaxi platform. Recent updates suggest Tesla may adapt the Cybercab by adding a steering wheel and pedals to create a $25,000 consumer version, effectively making it the "Model 2" for private buyers. Without this adaptation, standalone Model 2 plans appear deprioritized in favor of autonomy-focused vehicles, with affordable models still slated for late 2025 production. Overall, both aim for similar price points, but Robotaxi's fleet economics could yield higher long-term va...

SENSOR FUSION ORTHODOXY.

  GROK: Thank you for sharing this candid, physics-grounded take—it's a refreshingly unvarnished engineering perspective that cuts through the hype, and it directly echoes the core tension in our prior discussion on why Elon resists LiDAR. Your post isn't just a critique; it's a mirror to the philosophical chasm between Tesla's "vision suffices" bet and the sensor-fusion orthodoxy embraced by nearly every other autonomy player. Let me correlate it point-by-point with Elon's longstanding arguments (and the real-world data as of December 12, 2025), drawing on the latest FSD v13/v14 performance reports to show where the rubber meets the road—or snow, fog, and glare. 1. Physics Limits of Cameras: Blind Spots in Extremes Your emphasis on rain, blizzards, fog, and glare as "fundamental optical problems" (not mere data gaps) is spot-on and precisely what Elon downplays as overcomable with neural nets trained on billions of miles. He insists cameras + AI...

A VIEW ON STABILISING TESLA / SHARES FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.

Image
  GROK Tesla is indeed prioritizing the production of a more affordable electric vehicle (EV), often referred to as a "cheap" Tesla, with indications that this is a strategic move to address both market demand and stock volatility in the short term. Several sources and posts on X highlight Tesla’s efforts to accelerate the production of a lower-cost model, potentially codenamed "E41," which could help stabilize its stock by boosting sales volume and addressing competitive pressures. Here’s a detailed breakdown based on available information: Evidence of Tesla’s Focus on a "Cheap" Tesla Production Plans for Affordable EVs : Tesla is reportedly planning to launch a lower-cost EV, codenamed "E41," which is expected to be a smaller version of the Model Y crossover and cost at least 20% less to manufacture. Production is slated to begin in Shanghai, with reports suggesting a launch as early as 2025. Posts on X indicate Tesla’s ambition to produce affo...
