Jonathan M. Gitlin's Tesla skepticism continues to grow, robotaxi demo fails to impress Austin continues the drumbeat:
"EVIR also investigated attitudes toward AVs and robotaxis. Only 1 percent of the more than 8,000 people surveyed had ridden in a robotaxi and would do it again, the same percentage that would not care to repeat the experience. More than twice as many people (46 percent) say they would never consider riding in a robotaxi than say they would consider it (21 percent). And more than half somewhat (22 percent) or strongly (31 percent) believe the technology should not be legal."
And:
"Just 26 percent of survey participants still have a somewhat or very positive view of Tesla. But 39 percent have a somewhat or very negative view of the company, with just 14 percent being unfamiliar or having no opinion. That’s a net positive view of -13, but Tesla’s view intensity score is -16, meaning a lot more people really don’t like the company compared to the ones who really do. The problem is also growing over time: In April, Tesla still had a net positive view of -7."
