When Tesla kicked off its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, final month, it began with a reported 10-20 vehicles and a reasonably small geofenced space in South Austin.
Now, that space has grown, and its form is a not very refined message to Tesla’s rivals.
As revealed on Monday by Tesla’s official Robotaxi account on X, the brand new space the place Tesla’s Robotaxis function is formed like an enormous penis.

To make completely positive everybody’s in on the joke, Tesla CEO Elon Musk chimed in with a reply: “Bigger, longer, and uncut,” he wrote. Tesla’s Robotaxi account on X shared the picture of the brand new space with the caption: “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.”
One would assume that Tesla needs to be fairly cautious about the way it expands the Robotaxi service, provided that its fleet of Mannequin Ys that are self-navigating the town have been noticed making quite a few obvious site visitors violations. In that sense, the truth that the corporate was in a position to increase the service on this (seemingly careless) approach could be seen as a constructive improvement — or maybe Musk is prepared to danger all of it to make an enormous penis joke.
Waymo’s service space in Austin will not be, I repeat, will not be formed like a penis.
Credit score: Alphabet
For comparability, Alphabet’s Waymo covers a roughly equal, however far much less penile-shaped space of Austin.
Musk not too long ago introduced the Robotaxi challenge’s growth in Austin, and added that the Robotaxi service could increase to the Bay Space “in a month or two.” We shudder to assume which form the Robotaxi geofenced space could take over there.
