Tesla’s ‘Robotaxi’ and ‘Cybercab’ trademarks hit roadblocks ahead of June launch

Tesla’s attempt to trademark the term “Robotaxi” has been refused by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for being too generic.

In addition, applications from Tesla for the trademark on the term “Cybercab” have been halted due to other companies pursuing similar “Cyber” trademarks.

Elon Musk claims Tesla will deploy a fleet of self driving taxis in June. Tesla has said they'll make a ride hailing up and were running with "robotaxi" and "cybercab" branding throughout their talk about this new vehicle and service.

But turns out they got denied the key trademarks.... Which imo is the least of their worries that may delay launch.

“A centerpiece of Musk’s vision for Tesla’s future has been a fleet of fully autonomous robotaxis, but that vision keeps receding over the horizon. Last year, Musk hyped a dedicated robotaxi vehicle called the “Cybercab.” … Musk vowed it would be in production by 2026 and eventually cost under $30k. … Fast forward to now, and the Cybercab is nowhere near reality.”

Another «two years away». Oh, no.

«“I think it’s going to be a glorious future.”

Elon says he plans on starting fully autonomous Model 3 and Model Y trips in Texas and California “next year.” Cybercab won’t go into production until “2026... before 2027.”»
