TSLA - Tesla To Delay Robotaxi Event By 2 Months Stock Slides | Benzinga
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are trading lower on Thursday following a report that the company plans to delay its robotaxi unveiling from August to October.
Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the discussions, reported that this delay allows teams more time to develop additional vehicle prototypes.
Months ago, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk scheduled the event for August 8, and anticipation has driven Tesla shares up for 11 consecutive days, the report added.
In April, Musk clarified in a post that he picked the date partly because “8/8” is deemed a lucky number in China. The date also coincides with the birthday of his triplets.
