Analysts criticise lack of detail about the ‘robotaxi’ showcased by CEO Elon Musk
Tesla shares fell nearly 9% on Friday, wiping about $60bn (£45bn) from the company’s value, after the long-awaited unveiling of its so-called robotaxi failed to excite investors.
Shares in the electric carmaker tumbled to $217 at market close following an event in Hollywood, where the chief executive, Elon Musk, revealed a much-hyped driverless vehicle. The stock price is down roughly 12% year-to-date.

However, analysts said the event was short on detail and also expressed disappointment over a lack of specifics about other Tesla projects. Musk has a history of making grand projections about upcoming products and failing to follow through in the timeframe he has set, or at all.
Lol this thing with a heavy battery would flip over at the mere sight of a bump, and everyone would die inside
The center of mass is lower due to the battery, so I’d say the opposite is true.
I was going to make a smart ass comment about how bad the Cyber truck is at off-road stuff but it turns out it’s actually hard to tip over even with the chassis above the centreline of the wheels
