You'd be forgiven for thinking it may never happen, but it appears as though it's really happening this time. We're talking, of course, about Tesla's big Robotaxi event.

When: It starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 10. The physical event is taking place at Warner Bros. Discovery’s movie studio in Burbank, California, but there will also be a live stream for those who aren't attending (which is most of us, we presume).

How to watch: There's no official live stream up yet, but Tesla will very likely stream the event on its YouTube channel, and on Musk's social media platform X.

Originally, the Robotaxi unveiling was scheduled to happen on August 8, but it was not meant to be, with Tesla postponing the event into October. The official reason for the delay, per Tesla chief Elon Musk, was to "improve the Robotaxi, as well as add in a couple other things for the product unveil." The Robotaxi, per previous teases by Musk, is an autonomous electric car that can drive itself and ferry passengers around with no driver intervention, or perhaps without a driver, period.

One would think that this unveil would include an oft-rumored, $25,000 Tesla car, but there are reports that Tesla instead chose to focus on the Robotaxi. Given the delay from August to October, perhaps the company has managed to squeeze in the "cheap" Tesla into the lineup as well.

It is also quite likely that Tesla will show off a new/updated version of its Optimus robot, which has been around for two years now, but hasn't yet entered mass production. We've also heard rumors about Tesla showing off its wireless EV charging tech, and there will probably be talk about Tesla's Full Self-Driving autonomous driving package which is optional on regular Tesla cars.
