The Art of Value host JJ breaks down how a safety monitor inside a Tesla Robotaxi in Austin, Texas had to intervene to stop the robotaxi blowing through railroad crossing arms, while a Tesla influencer was riding in the back seat. Had the safety monitor not been there, it could have been disastrous. We also look at similar incidents in which Tesla Full Self-Driving (supervised) was involved. Will Tesla be able to fix this dangerous, recurring FSD error soon?

The Art of Value host JJ breaks down how some of Tesla’s chief social media influencers are coping with the very limited Tesla Robotaxi service so far, and the seemingly slow progress of robotaxi and Full Self-Driving. They claim everything is going to plan, yet after about 10 years, FSD is still making some basic errors in the wild, and it seems unlikely Tesla will be able to scale robotaxis and unsupervised FSD as fast as fans and investors would have expected.

The Art of Value host JJ breaks down some recent financial analysts’ opinions that at this point Tesla is mainly selling Elon Musk’s grand claims for the future, rather than the reality of the company, which is struggling to grow vehicle sales. Tesla’s robotoaxi is also off to a shaky start, and sales of Optimus robots haven’t begun. Can Tesla grow fast enough to justify its lofty stock market valuation?
