Tesla to Unveil Self-Driving Taxi and Tackles Gambling Addiction in One Week: Elon Musk on Social Media, Tesla Sales Struggle

Tesla, an American car manufacturer, is set to unveil its first self-driving taxi on August 8. The announcement was made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on social media platform X. The news caused Tesla’s shares to rise by 6 percent in after-hours trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Musk has been a vocal proponent of Tesla’s technology in the realm of self-driving electric cars and has suggested the concept of owners using their self-driving vehicles as taxis when not in use. However, the development of the robotaxi has faced obstacles, including concerns about safety from both authorities and the public.

In a separate context, discussions around online gambling and entertainment, as well as considerations for choosing the best online casinos, are also being addressed on various platforms. Additionally, issues related to gambling addiction and strategies to avoid falling into problematic behavior are being highlighted.

Earlier in the week, Tesla reported disappointing sales results for the first quarter of the year, attributing the underperformance to a sluggish electric car market in the United States and facing stiff competition from local manufacturers in China, such as BYD. Shares of Tesla took a hit when reports emerged that the company had halted plans for a cheaper electric car, but Musk denied the claims and the stock value rebounded.
