Today, Marcus the Intern unpacks Tesla’s latest announcement: owners will soon be able to turn their vehicles into robotaxis. But as always with Elon Musk, there’s a catch—and a whole lot of history.
Despite the term “Full Self-Driving,” the system still requires a human behind the wheel. And while Tesla is currently testing the service in Austin and San Francisco, the promise of a fully autonomous, income-generating car has yet to materialize—despite Elon making similar claims since 2019. Add in rising competition from Chinese EV makers, a recent crash tied to Tesla's FSD, and reported boardroom tensions pushing to oust Musk, and the picture gets even more complicated.
So is Tesla actually building the future of transportation? Or just buying time with another flashy announcement?
Let’s dive in.
