The recently concluded Tesla event titled "We, Robot" took the world of self-driving, electric vehicles (EVs) by storm by revealing the prototypes of the Cybercab and Robovan in the company's manufacturing units.
Despite delivering up, even over, to the expectations of EV enthusiasts and a pledge it made earlier, Tesla's "We Robot" event's biggest highlight could not be the aforementioned, latest Tesla models owing to a controversy unfolding disappointing gimmicks played by Tesla.

However, the outer visual appeal of the Cybercab is that of a smaller, sleeker, two-seater Cybertruck which Tesla says will be priced at a sub-$30,000 price tag.

Alongside the Cybercab, Elon Musk at the "We Robot" event also lifted the veil off a prototype of the Tesla Robovan, — an electric, autonomous vehicle reminiscing the size of a bus primarily designed to offer lavish, reliable public transport to people and cruise down areas with dense traffic.
Held on October 10 2024, the "We Robot" Tesla event also irked prominent observers who are criticising the event, claiming that it was more about a flamboyant show of futuristic vehicles rather than vehicles actually equipped them with the defining elements of fully autonomous cars.
Another trick which Tesla reportedly played at the We Robot event was giving space to Tesla's Humanoid robots that are still in the development phase.
While some attendees took the robots to be fully autonomous, experts claimed that they were being controlled remotely.
