according to foreign media reports on september 4, sources said that tesla will demonstrate its self-driving taxi (robotaxi) at warner bros. discovery's studio in hollywood on october 10.

musk did not respond to requests for comment, so the date has not yet been determined.

musk had previously mentioned an october 10 date, but did not reveal a location at the time.

musk recently moved tesla's headquarters to texas and has been holding press conferences in texas recently, but this time the event was held at a movie set in california, which may have helped to reveal the news.

the filming location is in burbank, which has a simulated community with carefully planned streets that are almost identical to real life. tesla can use this location to showcase the new taxis without having to worry about general traffic, and the compact location makes it easier to draw routes in the vehicle software.

the report said that little is known about tesla's self-driving taxi plans.for example, the company has not yet detailed whether the service will be available for existing owners' vehicles, nor does it know how or when actual testing will begin.

tesla has high hopes for robotaxi, and investors will want some reassurances as they look to learn more at the october event.

earlier this year, reports emerged that tesla had abandoned its plans for affordable electric cars to focus on self-driving taxis, but musk denied the claims, calling them "fake news." the reports caused an uproar because tesla has long been pursuing more affordable cars, and chinese automakers have made considerable progress on tesla, outselling it in some regions.
