As Elon Musk-led automaker Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is set to hold its second-quarter earnings call with investors next week, here are some top questions investors have submitted for the EV giant’s management.



<h2>Robotaxi, Optimus Under Spotlight</h2>



On Wednesday, influencer Sawyer Merritt took to X, sharing some of the top questions investors have asked. One of the top questions was about the Optimus Gen 3 robot, which recently got a boost as Tesla transitioned the Fremont, California, facility to produce the robot.

Investors sought to know the status of the production ramp, as well as the “initial deployment in factories, and external sales timeline/volume for 2027.” Investors also asked about Optimus’s capabilities by the end of next year.

The Cybercab and Robotaxi development was also touched upon by investors. “What are the main constraints to expanding robotaxi operations faster, and how do you see that lining up with Cybercab production?” Investors asked.



Investors also questioned Tesla’s failure to accomplish “short term goals” like deployment of Robotaxis to cover 50% of the U.S. by the end of 2025, touted by Musk last year.

Investors asked why Tesla had “missed short term guidance on robotaxi 3 earnings reports in a row,” including expanding Robotaxis to 7 new cities by the end of the first half of the year.



The investors questioned why Robotaxi growth was “stalled” and when would we see Cybercab start customer rides. They also asked Tesla about the “latest milestones and city expansion plans” for unsupervised Robotaxi/Cybercab operations, as well as fleet targets and revenue contributions set by the company.



<h2>Elon Musk’s Pay Package, FSD Summon?</h2>



There were also talks about Tesla merging or being acquired, possibly by Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX).



Investors questioned if the EV giant, “to reward long term Tesla retail shareholders for their loyalty,” could commit to achieving half of the milestones outlined in Musk’s pay package “before considering any offers to acquire or merge” the automaker.



They asked when they could “expect” unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) with “point-to-point summon capability?” Investors asked the Tesla upper management.

Price Action: Tesla shares were up 0.10% to $394.85 during the after-hours session on Wednesday.
