With the introduction of their brand-new dancing robot,

Tesla and Elon Musk made their robotics debut, but the response was less than enthusiastic.

[{"selector":"#anim-a445ed16-46b2-476f-9163-791e8a1c8201 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81a9d5d4-14f4-4e1d-8264-0461284febfd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-94de7644-5b2b-4661-bfeb-90ddc56dabd1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.61855%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

While many Tesla and tech enthusiasts were eager to test the limits of robots,

[{"selector":"#anim-0ea1fcf0-a5e6-49db-beaf-4fe790cf54df [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.21462252752049%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b69b872c-ea1c-454d-bb22-f74d7d0dde9d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66b494de-f949-41e4-b69f-edf5040a5227","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.61855%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

the outcomes were far from satisfactory.

The poorly dancing robot received a lot of online satire and was even self-parodied by some.

[{"selector":"#anim-9c0a253b-970d-4094-a94f-a55b51c2d739 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5cd96756-50e0-48b7-8a8c-d2517b4c955e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-366623a1-bad5-4f80-b0ca-8472b7dd435e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.96219%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, the disastrous attempt in no way represents Tesla's state-of-the-art technology or Musk's heritage of engineering ingenuity.

They might not have hit the mark with this one, but hopefully their subsequent efforts will be more successful.
