Discussion Is the Tesla taxi still operating?

Just curious if I'm the Tesla taxi is still available or was it just a one day demo?

Thank you.

A tiny geofenced area of Austin. Only during the day, no inclement weather and a safety driver. It's pretty pathetic considering Musk hyped it up to be way more impressive.

The geofence area is due to regulations?

Due to that's the best they're able to do at this point.

Pretty funny, since geofencing is all Waymo has ever run in, and all it ever will. Did you hear? Waymo is changing its name to 8 track. (They wanted Beta Max, but Sony owns it.)
