futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-20 20:18:30

Tesla has expanded the area where its Robotaxis can operate in Austin, and it's difficult — nay, impossible — to ignore its resemblance to something unmistakably vulgar.

Even better, its Plus and Plus Pro plans come fairly close to matching Verizon’s postpaid speeds. Of course, one of its biggest advantages can also be a downside: it’s owned by Verizon.
