Tesla Elon Musk News: Tesla remains the supreme ruler of EV and autonomous technology, Wall Street Bull Gary Black says, but warns Elon Musk to overcome a big obstacle first

Gary Black still believes in Tesla’s long game

Black also mentioned that according to Bensinga, Austin’s robots released “Asymmetric Risk/Reward” in June.
Despite these short-term concerns, Black is confident about Tesla’s future, as he put it: “Long-term we love the story of $TSLA,” Benzinga quotes Benzinga.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that the company will launch its Robotaxi service in June, starting with 10 to 20 automatic model Y-type vehicles in Austin. According to the report, the service has been tested with city employees in the small pilot program. Tesla said its test fleet has covered more than 15,000 miles and 1,500 automatic trips, according to Bensinga.
Trademark trouble
Musk is optimistic about Tesla’s complete autonomous driving technology and always says that, according to the report, cars traditionally driven will eventually become obsolete in the future.
But Musk’s Robotaxi plan faces challenges as Bensinga reports, as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denies “Robotaxi” or even “Cybercab” awarded to the company’s trademarks.
