There’s a meme that YouTuber MKBHD has wagered that he’d shave his head if Tesla delivers on the RoboTaxi before 2027.
What OAI’s O3 says about this:
“If Tesla puts a fully fledged, $30 000‑or‑less “Cyber‑cab” robotaxi service on the road before the end of 2026, Marques Brownlee will shave his head on camera.”
What Marques Brownlee has said on the matter
“He gets on stage, he says we’re gonna have this vehicle out for $30,000 before 2027,”
“No, they’re not, there’s just no way that they’re actually gonna be able to do that”.
“If they do, let’s say they do — I will shave my head on camera,”
This is the video for these quotes:

To resolve to true, Tesla would have to
(A) launch a nation wide Robotaxi before 2027
(B) the unit economics of each taxi would need to be <$30K
(C) Marques Bownlee, aka MKBHD, would need to shave his head as a result of it.
1,000"Nationwide" probably isn't going to happen in some states due to permitting delays.
Even if April 2026 is the start of cybercab production as claimed, the ramp up will be slow so there won't be enough vehicles for a fully nationwide service so it seems likely some rural areas won't have a service.
Perhaps it is possible for it to roll out to like 50 cities by end of 2026 and supposing MKBHD accepts this is enough and shaves head will this resolve no due to lack of "nation wide service"? i.e. Do large rural areas not having robotaxi service with any model: 3 or Y or cybertruck let alone cybercab mean this question resolves no?
