Tesla's CEO Musk announced at a press conference on Friday the launch of the self-driving taxi named CyberCab and the self-driving Model Y.
Musk stated that the Cybercab will have no steering wheel or pedals, costing less than $0.03 million. Some industry experts say that buying a pure vision electric vehicle for $0.03 million is actually "very expensive". A senior industry insider commented: "This latest pure vision self-driving car released by Tesla only has cameras, at this price point, you can buy a very good car domestically, not just one with two seats."
Barclays analyst Dan Levy gave Tesla an 'Equal Weight' rating with a target price of $220. He said: "Tesla's Cybercab prototype is similar to previous designs, but this release lacks specific details. Consumers can purchase the Cybercab, and Tesla may also operate the fleet itself. The recent drop in Tesla's stock price may be because people chose to sell after seeing the news. The market is now more focused on the company's fundamentals, which seem only average, not particularly good."
