Show Notes

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how one of the “Elongelical” Tesla influencers, Whole Mars Catalog, by his own recorded words, must be disappointed by Tesla’s slow process of its Robotaxi service, as it still only seems to have one unsupervised robotaxi operating at a time in Austin. According to the Robotaxi Tracker, all the rest are still supervised, both in Austin and in the Bay Area in California. JJ also looks at what some other Tesla influencers are saying, and also come Tesla critics.
