The date, Elon Musk says, was chosen partly because it is a "lucky number in China."
AdvertisementTesla CEO Elon Musk might've been hoping for some much-needed good fortune when he picked the robotaxi's projected August 8 launch date.
"I did partly pick it because 8/8 is a lucky number in China!"
The date, Musk added, was also chosen because it is the birthday of his triplets.
Musk fathered the triplets — Kai, Saxon, and Damian — with his first wife, Justine Musk.
