  • Tesla expanded its Robotaxi service area in Austin, creating a penis-shaped map, highlighting the service's unserious nature.
  • The Robotaxi service is invite-only, requires a Tesla employee with a kill switch, and costs $4.20 per ride.
  • Waymo operates larger service areas in multiple cities without in-vehicle supervisors, outpacing Tesla's progress.
  • Tesla's FSD promises remain unfulfilled, with older vehicles unlikely to support new software.
  • Elon Musk's claims of Tesla leading in self-driving contrast with slower progress compared to competitors like Waymo and Baidu's Apollo Go.
