Elon Musk is preparing to reveal his new Tesla robotaxi. However, many analysts argued that this isn't what he needs to solve his EV problems.

Experts explained why Elon Musk's decision to focus on Tesla robotaxis and cancel his affordable EV is a bad idea.

Tesla Robotaxi Isn't What Elon Musk Needs, Claim Analysts

Yahoo News reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would soon unveil the new Tesla robotaxi. People familiar with its unveiling said it could happen before 2024 ends.

Although this is quite exciting for Tesla fans, analysts say it's a bad idea since Robotaxis can't solve Elon Musk's EV problems. They claim the billionaire should focus on a sub-$30,000 EV in the next 18 months.

"If robotaxis is viewed as the 'magic model' to replace Model 2 we would view this as a debacle negative for the Tesla story," said Wedbush analysts.

"It would be a risky gamble if Tesla moved away from the Model 2 and went straight to robotaxis," they added.
