Tesla’s new rocket-shaped Robotaxi service area in Houston includes parts of downtown where the service won’t actually pick you up, according to Ethan McKanna, the creator of Robotaxi Tracker and former Tesla employee.

Elon Musk says Tesla’s Robotaxi race against Waymo “was never a real contest” after Tesla’s driverless fleet logged 438,000 miles in Austin in a single week, edging past Waymo’s 406,000 weekly average in the city.

Tesla expanded its Robotaxi service area in Houston today, and it shaped the new geofence like a rocket. Plenty of people on X see something else in it, which is fair given the phallic Austin map Tesla posted in 2025.

A new defect petition accuses Tesla’s Robotaxis of speeding through active school zones, and NHTSA has opened a file to decide whether to investigate. The agency puts the affected fleet at about 1,000 vehicles, Model Y and Cybercab.

We don’t know who was at fault or whether Tesla’s software was driving. But Tesla has no permit to run …
Elon Musk says the main thing holding back Tesla Robotaxi’s night hours is that the cars have a hard time seeing pets in the dark. His example was “grey kittens on grey tarmac.”
That’s a low-light, low-contrast detection problem, which is the textbo…
