It seems so Elon Musk Heads to Hollywood.
next month, Tesla Warner Bros. is planning to hold its big Robotaxis event at Discovery’s movie studio in Burbank, California. According to In a new report from Bloomberg.
Scattered studios — that offer trips For visitors – has large sound stages and sets, some of which resemble a suburban landscape consisting of many houses and a small downtown area. It is also home to many famous productions like “Batman”.
Tesla’s highly anticipated event was earlier delayed From August 8 to October, the CEO requested some changes in the design. Musk too said In a post on X that the delay gave them time to “show some other things”.
Bloomberg reports that the target date is October 10th. Tesla and Warner Bros. did not respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
This isn’t the first time Musk has chosen a Hollywood studio to host an event. In 2016, Musk demonstrated Tesla’s solar roof product on the suburban “Desperate Housewives” set at Universal Studios.
But it marks a change from recent Tesla events, which have been held at Tesla facilities. For example, Tesla Cybertruck The unveiling in 2019 took place at Tesla’s design studio in Hawthorne, California. Its delivery took place after the event Tesla’s Gigafactory in Texas.
Tesla’s AI Day in 2022, which focuses on Tesla’s advances in AI and self-driving technology, was held at Tesla’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California. of the EV giant The headquarters has since moved to TexasWhere Musk has said SpaceX and X, formerly Twitter, will also move.
Tesla’s unveiling events often feature eye-catching displays, and there are some early signs that the company is preparing to show off its robotaxis in action.
A hacker known for digging into Tesla’s software update code recently said he discovered information that suggests Tesla is collecting more data as part of a campaign called “WB Studio” in the area of the unveiling ahead of the event.
So I think the recent Bloomberg news piece explains why Tesla started extensive data collection in the “WB Studio” area 4 or so days ago. This is in addition to other areas like the Tesla Diner, various SF and Bay Area pieces, etc. pic.twitter.com/NO4Bprugak

While Tesla has yet to confirm the location of its Robotaxis event, it makes sense to hold the big reveal on private property that looks similar to public streets. Tesla may explore controlled environments to minimize interactions with traffic and unpredictable situations on the road.
Tesla also needs an area to show its vision for the autonomous driving capabilities of its robots without breaking any laws or running afoul of regulators by demoing them on public roads.
A movie set is a good place to do that.
