The first look at the Tesla Robotaxi - the auto has already been spotted on the Warner Bros. set.

It is expected that Tesla will finally unveil its long-awaited new vehicle, the Robotaxi, at an event on October 10 at Warner Bros Studio. The presentation was initially scheduled for August, but it was postponed due to Elon Musk requesting an "important redesign of the front end."

On the eve of the October 10 presentation, a Robotaxi was spotted roaming the Warner Bros lot. As can be seen in the image below, the vehicle is heavily camouflaged. Nevertheless, it's possible to get a certain impression of it.

There is a very noticeable difference between this real vehicle and the render that has been circulating on the internet for the past few months. The actual car appears to have four wheels, while the render only depicted three. So this is definitely progress.

The Robotaxi is Tesla's newest hope. Previously, it was the Cybertruck — the astonishing design of which built up excitement over the many years from announcement to actual road presence. Continuous buzz translates to a steady increase in stock prices, at least for Tesla. Therefore, the company desperately needs a new hype topic for ongoing media mentions and attention.

Without a doubt, the company wants to recreate the same level of hype with the Robotaxi — perhaps with an equally astounding design, but certainly not to the same extent as the Cybertruck. Still, the very idea of the product is what is most remarkable — an automated robotic taxi. In less than a month, we will see how close this is to reality.
