Tesla's revenues declined 12% year-on-year in the second quarter to 22.5 billion US dollars, as vehicle deliveries declined. Even so, the automaker described the quarter as "a seminal point in Tesla’s history: the beginning of our transition from leading the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries to also becoming a leader in AI, robotics and related services."
Ashok Elluswamy, Director-Autopilot Software at Tesla, said the company's test robotaxis, which operate with a safety driver, have "been doing great so far in Austin.... and we'll continue to expand in Austin to probably more than 10x our current operating region. ... The next thing to expand would be in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are working with the government to get approval here and, in the meanwhile, launch the service without the person in the driver seat just to expedite and while we wait for regulatory approval. We are also testing a lot of other cities in the U.S., including Florida, Nevada, et cetera."
Elon Musk, Tesla, CEO, added: "If we are not roughly making 100,000 Optimus robots a month in 60 months [time], I would be shocked." Source: Tesla
