Recent off the heels of the “We, Robotic” occasion, the place Tesla unveiled the Cybercab, its model of a robotaxi, the Robovan, which could possibly be named one thing fully totally different, and used the Optimus bot to serve drinks and entertain, the corporate will report earnings tomorrow.
Traders and analysts submit inquiries to Say, an investor relations platform, to ask Musk and different executives.

Tesla $25k inexpensive mannequin
Tesla has but to shed any gentle on whether or not it’s going to construct a $25,000 EV aside from the Cybercab, which Musk stated could be priced beneath $30,000.
Traders and analysts are nicely conscious the car may assist Tesla break into a completely new client base and assist develop gross sales and deliveries, that are anticipated to be stage with 2023 ranges this yr at 1.8 million.
A number of of the highest questions on Say ask concerning the $25k mannequin and whether or not Tesla plans to carry this kind of car at this lower cost level to market.
Sadly, Musk will doubtless deflect this query as he normally refuses to disclose any potential car plans on earnings calls.
Tesla Service
It’s no secret Tesla Service has been an actual bottleneck of the corporate lately, and with extra automobiles on the highway than ever, extra service is required.
Sadly, that is nonetheless a ache level for Tesla because it continues to battle with cheap wait instances for homeowners, and though it has tried to streamline the method up to now, it has come up remarkably brief.
It was not way back that we reported on some homeowners complaining of service wait instances of practically two months. Think about having a automobile that’s in want of service, solely to be informed it will likely be two months earlier than you will get an appointment.

Tesla needed to streamline service with an F1-style pit-stop method, however it really by no means got here to fruition.

Actually any clarification on whether or not that is nonetheless the plan could be huge for individuals who are ready to drop $250,000 on the automobile.
