Tesla is set to hold the highly anticipated "WE, ROBOT" event on October 11 at 10 AM Beijing time. The event will be streamed live across multiple social media platforms, including WeChat, Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, and Bilibili. CEO Elon Musk has forecasted the event to be a “day to remember,” with expectations running high for revelations in autonomous ride-hailing taxis, electric trucks, and humanoid robotics.

According to reports, Tesla is likely to unveil a specialized robotaxi prototype and a new ride-hailing app. There's speculation about a possible announcement of robotaxi trials in one or more cities. Analysts suggest that the vehicle might feature a two-seat configuration with butterfly doors, aligning with early prototypes described in Musk's biography. Additionally, Tesla may reveal a "Robovan" model and discuss plans to integrate Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology into its electric Semi trucks.

Expectations are also centered around Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot, highlighting the company’s advances in AI and robotics. This event signifies not only Tesla's technological innovations but also its bold vision for future mobility solutions.

The anticipation includes potential updates on a compact Cybercab model, which might integrate new wireless charging and advanced driver-assistance systems. Insights from past earnings discussions suggest that Tesla may update on its van model as well.

The market is keenly watching for Tesla's timeline on the commercialization of its robotaxi, though analysts note regulatory and production hurdles might mean a market launch no sooner than 2026. The latest FSD developments could play a critical role, with anticipated demonstrations showcasing autonomous driving on controlled road settings.

Future collaborations may also be on the agenda, perhaps akin to Tesla's strategic partnerships, including with companies like Uber and McDonald's, further signaling Tesla's forward-looking strategies.
