cailianshe news, august 31 (editor: xia junxiong)tesla plans to launch robotaxi (driverless taxi) at warner bros. discovery's studio in hollywood, according to media reports citing sources.

tesla originally planned to launch robotaxi on august 8, but postponed the launch to october in july. the company's ceo musk said at the time that tesla would take more time to make some design changes to the vehicle.

people familiar with the matter revealed that tesla will showcase its specially built robotaxi vehicle in burbank, california on october 10 local time, and the site is exactly warner bros.' local studio.

burbank is known as the "media capital of the world". warner bros. headquarters, one of the predecessors of warner bros. discovery, is located in the city. warner bros. hollywood studios covers an area of ​​110 acres and has a total of 29 studios. it has produced well-known film and television works such as "batman", "harry potter", "friends" and "the big bang theory".

although tesla moved its headquarters from california to austin, texas as early as december 2021, its design studio remains in hawthorne, california.

musk has previously shown off new products at hollywood studios. in 2016, tesla's solar roof product was unveiled on the set of "desperate housewives."

as tesla's automotive business faces increasingly fierce competition, musk has begun to bet on autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (ai). the financial report released in july showed that tesla's net profit in the second quarter of this year was us$1.5 billion, a decrease of 45%, and its operating profit margin was 6.3%, which was not only lower than 9.6% in the same period last year, but also lower than many established automakers. tesla was once known for its significantly higher profit margin than its peers.

due to the obvious slowdown in car sales growth, tesla has reportedly shelved plans to build factories in many regions around the world, including the officially announced factory in mexico.

additionally, tesla announced in april that it would launch an autonomous ride-hailing app, and musk may reveal more details about the app at the october launch event.
