Article Summaries:
- Elon Musk has reiterated that Tesla will sell the Cybercab robotaxi for under $30,000 before year‑end, after the first production unit rolled off the line at Giga Texas. The announcement sparked a wave of memes among Tesla fans, who recall tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD)’s bet that he would shave his head on camera if Tesla delivered a Cybercab at that price before 2027. Musk’s brief “Gonna happen” reply was met with skepticism, as the Cybercab’s lack of steering and pedals hinges on unsupervised self‑driving-a capability Tesla has yet to deliver. The situation highlights Musk’s history of ambitious autonomous‑driving timelines that have repeatedly fallen short.
