Mr. Musk has long been captivated by self-driving vehicles, and he has made a number of audacious predictions about them, such as the idea that they will either save lives or bring in money for their owners by being rented out for trips or even overnight stays.
But he will have to dispel lingering concerns about the electric car manufacturer’s capacity to carry out his aspirations when he takes the stage for the event, which the firm has dubbed We, Robot.
The project was supposed to be released in August; however, it was pushed back to October due to problems.
Mr. Musk claimed that his last-minute tweaks were the cause of the most recent delay.
In a July post on his social media network X, Musk wrote, “Requested what I think is an important design change to the front, and extra time allows us to show off a few other things.”
However, experts argue that the time has come for the business to demonstrate genuine project advancement.
After talking about the Robotaxi idea for so long without providing specifics, there is undoubtedly a lot of build-up, according to Jessica Caldwell of edmunds.com.
Caldwell went on, “The expectation is that this event should clear the air on the concept,” adding that it would be a “letdown” if Tesla withheld the release of a fully developed concept and operational specifics.
