No driver. No safety monitor.

Hey @elonmusk! I recently experienced @Tesla's @robotaxi fleet in Austin. Smooth ride, no driver. It's remarkable to see 10+ years of real-world AI training manifesting in a fully autonomous service.

We did discover a new operating expense line item for our Tesla model: parking tickets. Our Robotaxi got a $75 parking ticket.

How does Tesla plan to handle parking and traffic violations in a Robotaxi world?

@CathieDWood @elonmusk @Tesla @robotaxi Cities will need to create new parking law in the new autonomous world. My guess is that blue cities won’t do anything to help Tesla. Red cities might.

@ARKInvest @CathieDWood cringe. this bitch makes bank while her ETFs underperform market. it's all marketing, tesla fluffing, pretty faces and nonsense valuations. a Innovation fund that completely missed AI. Look at their shit performance. She is the only one making money fleecing you. Shame on you.

@CathieDWood @ARKInvest @elonmusk @Tesla @robotaxi I took several Robotaxi rides unsupervised in Dallas, it’s amazing, just needs more cars to lower the wait time.

@CathieDWood @elonmusk @Tesla @robotaxi You would think that they would just program it to move when the ticket cops start snooping around. It has enough cameras to be on the lookout.

@CathieDWood @elonmusk @Tesla @robotaxi 💡The $75 robotaxi ticket is a solved problem. Tesla has the payment rails in the app (for superchargers). @Grok has the intelligence. Connect both to city parking APIs — and the AI agent pays before the ticket ever prints. No friction. No violations. Just autonomous commerce. 🤖

@ARKInvest @CathieDWood Cathie one thing you mentioned you were driving your Tesla in Conn.Well the other day I was driving in the first lane ready to exit . And this young guy in his snappy foreign car went from the high speed lane to my lane almost smashing my fender. A Tesla would have warned me !

@ARKInvest @CathieDWood “Doing our robotaxi models for 10 years now”

For context, Cathie Wood has a Tesla price target of $2600 by 2029. This implies a $8.2T+ valuation.

She believes that Tesla’s revenue will jump from $94.827 Billion to $1.2 Trillion, a 12x increase in 3 years.

We will need laws around vehicles circulating on roads looking for business - fleet deployment will need management in relation to demand and road congestion. Most of us like to own our stuff. For most humans, owning a primary means of transport will be their first or second most valuable investment. Tesla needs to sell fully autonomous vehicles to all who want one knowing most of us won't want our private vehicle used by other people.

@CathieDWood @elonmusk @Tesla @robotaxi I think Tesla can control operating costs like fines, support, charging, insurance, and city compliance.

@CathieDWood @elonmusk @Tesla @robotaxi Another reason Tesla will win... Waymo's can't drive anywhere. Tesla's can navigate remote edge cases like dirt roads, with no problems.

@ARKInvest @CathieDWood Waymo has been doing this for over 6 years and is still burning through money. $2.1 billion loss in the first quarter of 2026.

Why is she talking like an idiot when there's solid data on robotaxi operations?
