This week, Tesla finally put its first robotaxi on the road.
But let’s rewind a bit…
-> Elon in 2015: “By 2018, Teslas will be fully autonomous.”
-> in 2016: “By 2021, we’ll have a fleet of one million robotaxis.”
-> in 2023: “Optimus humanoid robots will be available for $30k by the end of the year... oh, and one will land on Mars in 2026."
-> in 2014: “The new Tesla Roadster is coming this year.”
Then it was 2019.
Then 2020.
2021.
2022.
2023.
2024.
Now 2025. Still waiting. 😅
-> in 2015 again: “Crewed Starship missions to Mars as early as 2025.”
Elon Musk has made some of the wildest tech predictions of the century.
And yet…
He’s not been that wrong. He’s just late.
Bit by bit, almost everything he said is becoming real.
If every Tesla becomes a robotaxi, like he envisions, that fleet will blow way past one million vehicles.
