During Elon Musk Two months in Washington, DC, Tesla the stocks were on a covered with a fall, loss of over 40% of its value.
Protests And campaigns against Tesla, male and his work in Trump’s White House have erupted around the world. Criminal acts of vandalism and arson They were also aiming for some tesla electric vehicles, salons and charging stations in a series of incidents in the United States -in across Europe.
At a meeting of all hands with Tesla employees on Thursday night, Musk dealt with some of these questions, trying to convince the employees that they are still in good hands and “hanging themselves in your stock”. The shares rose 4%on Friday.
“It is very difficult as for people on the stock market, especially those who look at the rearview mirror – which most people – imagine the future where 10 million fleets of the vehicle have five to ten times more than usefulness,” Musk said, presenting its vision of an autonomous vehicle that has been promised for a long time. “It’s so deep and there is no comparison with anything in the past. It is not calculated. But it will be calculated in the future.”
In recent months, Tesla’s new vehicle sales have fallen into Europe and in parts of the USA -ai China. The company faces trade uncertainty after the multiple executive orders of President Trump imposed new tariffs on goods and materials from Canada, Mexico and China, a home of key Tesla suppliers. Nationally a car shopping place Edmunds said this week That Tesla owners trade in their electric vehicles at a record level.
“If you read the news, you seem to know, Armageddon,” Musk said to Live Stream on Thursday. “It’s like, I can’t go by TV without seeing Tesla on fire. As it happens? Some people, it’s like listening, I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it. It’s a little unreasonable.”
He followed, saying, “This is psycho, stop being psycho!”
The employees laughed with him.
Musk has spent most of the meeting, giggling Tesla’s technology or prospects for her.
“What is the most exciting future you could imagine?” asked rhetorically. He replied that it was a “future of abundance for all”, where robotaxes, artificial intelligence and robots who have now brought the future in Tesla “where you could literally have everything you want.”
Musk celebrated the status of the Bestseller Tesla Model Y and said that the electric suv will be the “best -selling car on Earth this year” and “available worldwide”. He boasted that Cybertruck, Tesla’s corner steel truck, became the best -selling completely electric pikap. Despite the massive Cybertruck Recomit announced earlier on Thursday, Musk also praised the vehicle for reaching a 5-star rating of collision safety.
Thanked the Tesla employees for Refreshed version Model Y, saying that the company supply chains on three continents have proven to be a challenge in getting a car on the market.
Musk boasted with the upcoming KiberkabDouble-seater without steering or brake and EV that will be upgraded to make robotaxes with software update. It is the promise he has given for years. In 2016, Musk told Tesla owners that their cars would be able to make a driver without a driver until the end of 2018.
To Tesla Last Call for EarningsMusk said that driver -free driving service comes to Austin in Texas in June, using existing Tesla vehicles and a version of FSD or “full arbitrariness” software, which is currently required by a driver who is ready to manage or brake at any time.
Musk said on Thursday that Cybercab would be manufactured in Austin, as well as a humanoid robot of the company, called Optimus. Optimus is now gathering at Fremont, the California factory, he said, and Tesla wants to produce about 5000 units this year.
Both the Robotaxi and humanoid robotics market, Tesla faces strong competition.
Alphabet Waymo scraits its offer without driving without drivers in more American markets, recently launching in Austin. And Chinese EV manufacturers, including Zeekr, plan to make their equivalents of Tesla’s autopilot and FSD available as standard options.
Meanwhile, numerous developers of humanoid robotics, including Apptronik, Boston Dynamics and Unitree, are working to put their models on the market. Boston Dynamics, in partnership with RAI InstituteHe has released a new video this week that shows his electric atlas of humanoid walking, running, creeping and doing gymnastics.
Still, Musk says Teslin Optimus “is the most sophisticated humanoid robot on Earth,” although now it is “to learn to walk and catch balls”, and in most of his main demonstrations have been managed by people.
Tesla employees will be the first to get access to robots, he said, adding that one day he would function like Star Wars characters R2-D2 and C-3PO.
“We will offer Optimus robots first to Tesla’s employees,” Musk said. “There are some pluses and minuses – they probably have a few mistakes. But it will be very cool.”
