TSLA - TESLA BETS ON ROBOTAXIS, ROBOTS AS EV SALES FALL Tesla’s Q2 profits fell 16% and sales dropped 12%, but Elon Musk says the future is in robotaxis and humanoid robots. A small robotaxi service has launched in Austin, with plans to expand, though it trails rivals like Waymo. Musk expects autonomy to boost revenue by 2026 and plans mass production of the Optimus robot within five years.(*Walter Bloomberg)
