Reuters also wrote that Musk’s instructions were to “go all-in” on robotaxis built on the company’s small vehicle platform. Tesla has been promising a more affordable electric car for years, with prices expected to start at $25,000, and Musk said as recently as this January that he was optimistic the model would arrive in the second half of 2025.
Currently, Tesla’s cheapest vehicle is the Model 3, which starts at $39,000. We’re curious to see how the company will operate a robotaxi with just a camera system.
