San Francisco, April 6 (IANS) Elon Musk announced that Tesla will unveil its robotaxi on August 8, bringing excitement among his followers. Musk shared on his social media platform X, “Tesla Robotaxi unveil on 8/8.” Fans anticipate seeing a Tesla without a steering wheel and possibly a compact car alongside the Robotaxi.

In response to Musk’s announcement, one X user exclaimed, “Wow, can’t wait to see a Tesla without a steering wheel.” Another user expressed expectations for both the compact car and Robotaxi to be revealed simultaneously, urging no delays. Despite initial plans to launch robotaxis in 2020, Tesla faced setbacks.

Recent reports suggest Tesla abandoned plans to create a $25,000 affordable electric vehicle. Musk previously mentioned that this EV would be developed on the company’s next-generation platform, aiming for production at Gigafactory Texas. Tesla remains dedicated to introducing the next generation platform efficiently.

The anticipation for Tesla’s robotaxi reveal continues to grow as Musk’s followers eagerly await the event on August 8. Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking development in electric car technology.
