All ridiculouness aside like him showing videos of him playing games, I was gonna be like, how do you suppose he sends emails or writes his posts on X?

But they counted his phone as something separate to a computer.

For sure. Its actually even worse, in the 'article' it says their ride was cancelled.

Well, the Tesla Robotaxi cancels your fare and drops you off in the rain, that’s what happens. Seriously! Can’t make this stuff up

Except... YOU CAN make it up!

I wonder if anyone actually watched the video...

The car dropped them off at their planned location. They were told service may not be available for the next ride due to weather, but they did get another car in the end anyway. They were forced to exit at the end of the ride as everyone is. Then they got another ride. They weren't dumped.

Edit: Would they be dumped, it's possible, but that's not what happened here.

This was their destination, which they then affirm they chose in the "dumped" portion -> "Unfortunately, we chose basically a park with no cover to be dropped off", and they have text added to the screen "we got to our location via robotaxi, but weather became a concern"

LOL wasn't expecting that.

Cop: WTF happened here?

Driver: It drove itself onto the tracks

Cop: Okay, but what about the other 49 feet of the 50 feet it's on the tracks?

Driver: ...

LOL right? Like deciding to see what the car will do ON RAILWAY TRACKS is absolutely fucking bonkers.

How the fuck do you let any level 2 system go 40 to 50 fucking feet down the railroad tracks.

We're they asleep?

To start ya. It'll eventually be all their models, we'll... probably not the CT.

The purpose built one coming in 2026 is a 2 seater. This launch is using the new Model Y's

And their 1st stage is designed to be reusable, so we might have another reusable provide in the near future.

It might take a handful of launches to get there, but they are on that path.

Up and down isn't a hard problem in the grand scheme of things. It's expensive and doesn't offer much benefit which is why people generally haven't bothered.

Going up and over at orbital velocities and coming back is the hard part, and none of these new spaces companies have done that successfully yet, and SpaceX has now done it with 2 vehicles and reused them both.

New Glenn from Blue Orgin might be the first after SpaceX but it blew up coming back on their first attempt, but it's been designed to be orbital and reusable
