October: delayed until February

February: delayed indefinitely

the robot-taxi is coming out profoundly next year - running for 10 years now.

Who does believe the same lie for 10 years straight??

A delay like this would not likely cause such a reaction for most companies, but the landscape for investors is changing rapidly with Tesla.

I think the years of un-resolved promises and record high prices have started to put downward pressure on Tesla as it also grapples with their CEO having torched his goodwill amongst the public.

My prediction here is that any hint of delays or problems occuring at Tesla will become increasingly more viloent in their market reaction as instead of grappling with FOMO investors now grapple with FUD.

You think so? I think Musk has mastered the art of the over promise and under deliver and as long as he delivers something in October even if it’s just a small refresh on his cars, and FSD beta v13, people will be fine with it. I think like Trump were just in this age of deities and the only thing that could unseat Musk is _maybe_ if some new personality managed to suck the oxygen out of the room, or game investors a place to believe.

The markets can, notoriously, remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

But they generally can't do so _forever_.

If there only pushing it back 2 months, that seems like a good sign?
