    Imagine a taxi that can't operate in the rain. That is what Tesla has delivered in Austin TX.

    These riders learned that the hard way, but don't have anything particularly negative to say about it... That's the advantage of only making a Robotaxi service available to hand-picked Tesla influencers.

      Something is very wrong in this universe since Elon Musk continues to earn more and more money.

      EDIT: Because he doesn’t have enough! And can’t think of anything fucking better to do with his time!

                              Google (Waymo) already has an entire fleet of autonomous vehicles available for hire in Austin and many other cities. Amazon (Zoox) has been testing on the roads in Austin for over a year now. Both have thus far seemed to be doing really well from a safety perspective. But then again, like VW, they're using lidar and can see through rain, fog, and night.

                              From a business perspective, Google and Amazon have diverse revenue streams and the deepest pockets imaginable, and will crush Tesla, whose only other sources of revenue are actively drying up.

                                For anyone wondering waymos (Google driverless cars) handle rain just fine as far as I've seen, and they have service in Austin. Idk why you would ever choose to take a tesla taxi.

                                        Far as I can tell, he's losing money, just not fast enough to choke him to death.

                                          All of this is so plainly obvious, along with how shitty Tesla is as a company. But TSLA somehow keeps its overinflated value.

                                          I don't understand it.
