Get ready for a glimpse into the future of transportation. Tesla’s highly anticipated Robotaxi Day on October 10th could usher in a new era of autonomous vehicles for the electric vehicle (EV) industry. While a limited number of Tesla shareholders will be in attendance, the rest of us can watch the event live from home.
Tesla will be streaming the event from its official X account, aptly captioned “The future will be streamed live.” The event kicks off at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET. While Tesla usually streams live videos of its company events on YouTube, they haven’t announced plans to do so this time.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been vocal about his ambition to create robotaxis for years, and Thursday’s event could see that vision come to fruition. Many investors and analysts are expecting some surprises or details beyond the robotaxi. With the event titled “We Robot,” there’s speculation that we might also see updates on the Optimus bot, Tesla’s humanoid robot.
The event, originally scheduled for August but later delayed, will be held at the Warner Bros. movie studio lot in Burbank, California. This location hints at the possibility of vehicle demonstrations as part of Robotaxi Day. Analysts anticipate Tesla showcasing its $25,000 vehicle, a CyberVan, and sharing cost-per-mile metrics for the Robotaxi.
This event is just the beginning of a busy October for Tesla. They’ve already released third-quarter production and vehicle figures, and following Robotaxi Day, they’re scheduled to attend the Paris Motor Show from October 14th to 20th. This marks Tesla’s first appearance at the event in six years. Tesla will also report third-quarter financial results on October 23rd after market close.
These events are likely to cause volatility in Tesla shares throughout October as investors and analysts assess the company’s future direction. Stay tuned for more updates and developments in the exciting world of autonomous vehicles and Tesla’s ambitious plans.
