Tesla Bot

These days, few businesses are as well-known as Tesla. Elon Musk is often in the news, therefore it's inevitable that the company will be mentioned regularly as well, and not always in terms of the antics of its CEO. Remember that Tesla is still in the lead when it comes to electric vehicles, and they frequently release something new and interesting to keep them at the top of everyone's minds.

Tesla announced their progress on a humanoid robot at a press conference in August 2021. According to Musk, the objective was to build a machine that could perform laborious, hazardous, or repetitive activities for people. All is well thus far. The rollout was the issue.

For whatever reason, Musk opted to showcase the concept of the robot before anyone had actually built one. So instead, they presented a man dressed in a spandex jumpsuit who was posing as a robot. He danced after that, and it wasn't good.

It didn't matter if it was intended as a joke or not. The following day, the corporation was criticized in the media. Whatever the real reason behind it, it made one of the biggest companies and one of the richest men in the world appear bad. Many people chalked it up as a ploy to divert attention from poor headlines.
