Comments However, many couldn’t help but compare Tesla’s creations to the robots seen in the 2004 Will Smith sci-fi movie I, Robot.
Directed by Alex Proyas and starring Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Alan Tudyk and Bruce Greenwood, the movie is set in 2035 amid a world filled with highly intelligent robots in public service positions designed to keep humans safe.
However, after the death of the company’s founder, it’s suspected that he was actually murdered by one of the robots. Smith plays a robo-sceptic detective investigating the murder.
It is based on a 1950 short-story by science-fiction author Isaac Asimov.
Indeed both the designs of Tesla’s robots and the two new Tesla vehicles look uncannily like the ones seen in the film by Proyas, who has also directed The Crow (1994) and Dark City (1998).
These comparisons didn’t go unnoticed by Proyas himself who shared three side-by-side images of Tesla’s products and the designs from his movie on X/Twitter, adding ‘Hey Elon, Can I have my designs back please?’
Proyas’s post has since been shared more than 14,000 times on Musk’s own social media network with many supporting the 61-year-old director.
