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.

    This is why most of the robotaxi testing is only in dryer fair weather areas. All of them have issues with precipitation.

    LoL, this was my joke about EV’s, namely that they don’t work in the rain, come true IRL. This is really a weird timeline! FWIW, my ionic 5 seems just fine in weather, rain, snow, etc.
