  • Investors are seeking answers on the latest robotaxi updates, including current fleet size, miles completed, driver interventions, etc.

Tesla (TSLA) shareholders are seeking answers from the company on its products, including full self-driving driver assistance service, Optimus, Cybertruck, and robotaxis, as it is set to report its third-quarter earnings later on Wednesday.

According to questions raised by investors on the Say Technologies platform, shareholders are seeking answers on the latest robotaxi updates, including current fleet size, miles completed, driver interventions, etc. Investors are also curious whether or when safety drivers will be removed from the driver’s seat of the vehicles.

Tesla has launched its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, as part of its pilot program. Since then, updates on the service have been scarce.

Questions On New Vehicle Models, FSD For Personal Use

Investor questions also included Tesla’s plans for launching new models. The company’s last new vehicle model, the Cybertruck, began delivery in November 2023. Since then, Tesla has launched new variants of existing models but not new vehicles.

Other questions pertain to Tesla’s humanoid robot called Optimus, currently in development. The robot has not yet been launched commercially and is currently in the testing and development phase.

Other topics of interest included full self-driving access to individual drivers. Queries pertain to hurdles in the process, the timeline for enabling fully autonomous driving, and other related topics. While some raised queries on how the expiry of EV tax credit is expected to impact Tesla deliveries in the upcoming quarter, others wonder about Elon Musk’s vision for the company.

Tesla invites shareholders to ask and upvote questions they would like addressed during their earnings calls. The EV giant is expected to report its third-quarter earnings after the closing bell on Wednesday.
