Worth mentioning (more regard the Robotaxis)

"As Horace Dediu often reminds us, every vehicle has a job to do, and Tesla's do the job of providing high-end, high-performance, environmentally-friendly status symbols to tech executives quite well. But that's a very different job with very different needs than the prosaic business of commodity mobility that taxis provide, whether currently in human driven form or in the future as robotaxis. "

That's a good point, although I fail to see how Elon's claim of 1 million robotaxis by the end of 2020 can take shape in the first place.
The story may be true but why do I feel the Chinese government is quietly supporting any story that shows Telsa in a bad light? The quantity of EVs in China amazing but the quality is extremely bad.
