"Star Daily" September 26th News: Today, the official Tesla and Elon Musk released the activity teaser poster on Weibo, announcing the launch of new products in Los Angeles, USA, on October 11th Beijing time. The theme of the event is "We, Robot".
Musk made an even bolder claim, saying, "This will go down in history."
The Verge, Electrek, and other media outlets pointed out that this poster image is an invitation to the Robotaxi (self-driving taxi) launch event sent to some institutions. Tesla will hold the "Cybercab" unveiling event on October 10th local time (October 11th Beijing time) and officially launch the Robotaxi.
According to previous reports, the Robotaxi launch event will take place at Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood, starting at 7 p.m. local time. Musk has stated that this will be the most important day for Tesla since the launch of the Model 3.
Combining information from TorqueNews and other media sources, the Robotaxi, as a carrier of self-driving technology, may eliminate the steering wheel and pedals internally, the rear seats may have front-facing seats, and screens may be provided. The exterior design may resemble that of the Cybertruck. In addition, recent posts from individuals claiming to be Warner Bros. studio employees included a spy photo believed to be a Tesla Robotaxi, with the car tightly wrapped in yellow packaging.

In terms of operation and user experience, Musk had previously estimated that the cost per mile of Robotaxi was only $0.18, while the cost of a human-driven taxi is $2-3 per mile. In response, Debon Securities stated that cost-effectiveness is the core competitiveness of Robotaxi. However, Electrek predicts that it will operate on a small scale, and users will summon vehicles using the Tesla-developed app.
In addition to self-driving cars, Electrek expects to see the latest version of the Optimus Prime robot at this event. There is speculation that based on the theme of the poster 'We, Robot,' Tesla may release more than one product this time. Besides Robotaxi, Optimus Gen3 may also make an appearance.
In fact, from the camera in the background of the poster released this time, it is easy to associate the common points of the two products Robotaxi and Optimus - both are equipped with built-in FSD chip cameras as a technical foundation, relying on purely visual route and algorithm computing power to support the end-to-end AI large model. As Musk once said, "It can be said that Tesla is the world's largest robotics company, and our cars are almost like wheeled semi-autonomous robots."
It is also worth mentioning that earlier this month, the Tesla AI team announced on social media that they expect to launch the FSD system in China and Europe in the first quarter of 2025, but it still awaits regulatory approval.
