Howdy #Austin, if you are interested in helping identify and track Tesla's "robotaxi" fleet, this thread is for you 👇

if you want to understand why Musk is unable to hang in interviews with actual journalists anymore, try watching this awkward handjob of an interview from a guy whose only qualification (at least when it comes to space stuff) is being a known friendly/fanboy

if you drive a black '68 Charger, I have some fantastic news for you

there is no such thing as anonymized location data!

*looks pointedly at all the people who spent days posting about how there should be no expectation of privacy on public roads, and how they can't wait for an automated enforcement panopticon that will never be abused this way to finally rid them of the worst thing imaginable (speeding)*

just wait until you get to the fine print warning residents they may lose the right to continue using their uterus for its current use

are you fucking kidding me

Here are some of the new Model Ys that have been seen around Austin lately, with manufacturer plates and roofracks sporting Luminar "Iris" lidar sensors. Tesla has historically used similarly-equipped vehicles for validation work in California, so it's not clear if these are the #Fauxbotaxi fleet.

Elon Musk in particular shouldn't be able to shrug and walk away from what he's done to our government, if you want to run for office and a big part of your message isn't accountability for these weasels you can forget it
