目前在Polymarket上已有720万美元的赌注,但随着时间进入倒数阶段,特斯拉Robotaxi服务达到成功标准的概率正趋近于零。虽然这种情形并不会削弱该公司在上周取得的成就,也无需为此钻牛角尖,但特斯拉快速扩展该服务的能力仍有待验证。
特斯拉的自动驾驶叫车服务在一周多前才刚刚上线,有近十二辆Robotaxi在奥斯汀市中心接送乘客。来自全国各地的特斯拉“网红”纷纷涌入得州首府,参与这一历史性事件,前提是他们足够幸运,能拿到一张梦寐以求的邀请码。
从表面看,埃隆・马斯克兑现了他最初于1月公布的时间表,但真的是这样吗?如果你询问Polymarket(过去四周内,这里已有720万美元押注6月启动)这个问题,答案显然是否定的。
所有押注特斯拉如期上市的人都将血本无归。目前,成功概率降至仅2%。除非最后关头出现惊喜,否则这些赌注将在得克萨斯当地时间晚上11点到期,变得一文不值。
例如,某个账户以平均约12美分的价格购买了42万股,每1美分相当于1个百分点的概率。如果此人在到期前变现,那么将损失86%的赌注。
如果马斯克向所有奥斯汀居民开放该服务,这一局面可能会改变。根据赌注条款,这是该服务上线必须达到的门槛。
目前,只有被明确邀请的人(其中很多是特斯拉社区中拥有大量粉丝的核心用户)才能呼叫Robotaxi。此外,在未来四周内,情况也不太可能发生改变,而7月启动的赔率不到三分之一。
尽管市场正在庆祝特斯拉今日推出Robotaxi,但在博彩市场上,这一事件发生的概率出现了暴跌。

上周五,一辆特斯拉汽车从奥斯汀郊外工厂出发,自动驾驶约半小时前往等候的车主交车,这个精彩演示算吗?这是特斯拉在一周内达成的第二个里程碑,也算是提前祝贺马斯克54岁生日(上周末)的礼物。不过,这一点依然不符合条件。
该网站在条款中明确规定:“仅限特斯拉员工、受邀测试者、封闭测试参与者、工厂自提功能,或仅向私人车主发布完全自动驾驶(FSD)软件这些项目,均不符合条件。”
Polymarket的运行逻辑就是这么简单。它不同于股票投资,因为股票即使未在截止日期实现目标,仍可以把未来现金流计入股价。Polymarket预测市场没有 “移动球门柱”的空间。一旦条款公布,要么达成约定标准,要么没有,结果永远是二元的。
不能只看字面意思——特斯拉的规模化能力是其Robotaxi承诺的核心。尽管赌注失败并不会削弱特斯拉过去几天宣布的成就(该公司未回复置评请求),但这个问题不能只看文字表述。
马斯克的核心承诺在于:一旦人工智能技术的安全性得到证实,其服务可在一夜之间进行指数级扩展。这一承诺也让特斯拉有别于谷歌的Waymo这类竞争对手。这是因为在过去近9年的时间中,这位企业家一直在告诉投资者:自2016年10月起,每辆特斯拉汽车在出厂时都预装了可实现自动驾驶的必要硬件。
马斯克称,Waymo需要先采购捷豹I-Pace这类电动车型,再安装昂贵的传感器和计算设备,而特斯拉则无需这么做,因为车辆已制造并交付给客户,只需 “唤醒” 即可。
马斯克在两年前预测说,“突然之间,300万辆汽车都可实现自动驾驶”。他只需按下按钮,让所有特斯拉车辆进行远程固件升级即可。马斯克称这是特斯拉的“ChatGPT时刻”。
然而,这位首席执行官仍在严格限制哪些客户能使用其有限的Robotaxi车队。目前,这个高大上的承诺仍有待马斯克兑现。(*)

Currently $7.2 million in bets have been placed on Polymarket, but the probability of Tesla’s robotaxi service meeting the criteria necessary to be judged a success is approaching zero with hours left on the clock. While this doesn’t diminish the company’s accomplishments this past week, it is not a case of splitting hairs—Tesla’s ability to rapidly scale service has yet to be proven.
Tesla’s autonomous ride hailing service went live just over a week ago with nearly a dozen robotaxis shuttling passengers in downtown Austin. Tesla influencers from across the country descended upon the Texan capital to participate in the historic event—assuming they were lucky enough to nab a coveted invite.
In a basic sense, CEO Elon Musk delivered on his timetable, first announced back in January. Or did he? If you ask Polymarket, where $7.2 million in bets have been placed over the past four weeks on a June launch, the resounding answer is no.
Anyone that wagered money Tesla would in fact go to market stands to lose their wager. At present, the probability has sunk to just a 2% success rate. Barring a last-second surprise, their bets are scheduled to expire worthless when the clock strikes 11 p.m. Texas local time.
One account, for example, purchased 420,000 shares at an average of around 12 cents—each cent is equivalent to one percentage point of probability. Were that individual to liquidate now prior to expiry, they stand to lose 86% of their wager.
The missing puzzle piece that could change that all in an instant were if Musk opened the service up to all Austin residents. Under the terms of the bet, that is the threshold that must be met in order for the rollout to qualify.
At present, only those explicitly invited, many of whom are a select group of superfans with large followings in the Tesla community, may hail one of his robotaxis. Right now there’s not a lot of optimism things will change over the coming four weeks, either, with the odds for a July launch at less than one in three.

What about Friday’s impressive demonstration of a Tesla car driving itself from the factory outside Austin to a waiting owner roughly a half-hour away? That was Tesla’s second milestone in less than a week, an early birthday present for Musk before turning 54 this weekend. That too doesn’t qualify.
“A program that is restricted to Tesla employees, invite-only testers, closed-beta participants, factory self-delivery features, or the mere release of Full Self-Driving software for private owner-drivers will not qualify,” the site states in its terms.
This is the simplicity of Polymarket. Unlike equity investments where a stock can still price in future cash flows without the corresponding target actually being achieved on deadline, there is no moving the goalpost with prediction markets. Once the terms are announced, either the agreed upon criteria are met or they are not—the outcome is always binary.
More than just semantics—Tesla’s ability to scale is core to its robotaxi promise. While a missed wager doesn’t diminish the accomplishments these past few days of Tesla—which did not respond to a request for comment—the issue is more than just semantic.
Musk’s core promise to differentiate Tesla from competitors like Google’s Waymo is an ability to scale exponentially overnight once the AI-enabled technology proves itself safe. That’s because the entrepreneur has been telling his investors for nearly nine years that every car leaving its factory since October 2016 comes equipped with the necessary hardware pre-installed to drive autonomously.
While Waymo has to first acquire cars like the Jaguar I-Pace EV and then fit them with costly sensors and computing power, there’s no need for that when it comes to Tesla, according to Musk. The vehicles have already been built and delivered to customer hands. They are simply waiting to be awakened.
“Suddenly 3 million cars will be able to drive themselves,” he predicted two years ago. All he needs to do is flip a switch and push the over-the-air firmware update out to the entire fleet. He’s called it Tesla’s “ChatGPT moment”.
Instead the CEO still is keeping a tight leash on which customers can use his limited robotaxi fleet. For now, that’s one big promise Musk still needs to deliver.
