Tesla is with the price surge the locomotive among the so-called Magnificent 7 shares on Wall Street. The other tech giants, such as Meta, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft, are also going upwards in futures trading but not as much. And Nvidia, major manufacturer of AI chips, is declining.

The first trips with Tesla's so-called robotaxi in Austin were limited to a small part of the company's hometown. The passengers have so far been selected investors and so-called influencers with live cameras turned on during the trips.

The launch includes 10–20 driverless Teslacars, manned with an employee who keeps track of everything working as it should.
