About this listen
Tesla just hit a milestone thats got the auto world buzzing as Automotive News reports they launched robotaxi rides in Austin without safety monitors on January 22 putting them alongside Waymo and Zoox in fully driverless hailing though its only a handful of cars mixed into their broader fleet with monitors still. Elon Musk himself posted on X last week celebrating the Tesla AI team for kicking off these no monitor drives validating their camera only strategy after years of hype since his 2020 prediction of a million on roads. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts spotlight this ahead of Teslas Q4 and full year 2025 earnings dropping today where Musk is expected to dish on robotaxi expansion to more US cities by mid year plus Cybercab public road testing now in five states with production slated for April. Musk teased at the World Economic Forum that robotaxi service will blanket the US by years end a bold call amid whispers of FSD approval in Europe as soon as February per the Netherlands Vehicle Authority and maybe China too though state media there shot it down. Nasdaq notes Musk also warned FSD subscription prices will climb as capabilities boost calling it an infinite money glitch while MotorTrend echoes that pricing hike. Shares are climbing despite deflated 2026 sales outlooks with LA Times saying net income forecasts plunged 56 percent to 6.1 billion yet autonomy hype trumps weak EV deliveries down after 1.6 million units in 2025 per Tridens Technology. No big public appearances but earnings call at 4:30 p.m. Central today looms as the hot ticket with investors eyeing Semi truck production updates and self driving trucking entry this decade. Brand took a hit Brand Finance says value dropped 36 percent to 27.6 billion from Musks social media noise but robotaxi momentum could rewrite Teslas bio for good.
