We’re getting the first videos of “select guests” getting access to Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Austin, and the level of polish leaves something to be desired.

For instance, one gaggle of Tesla influencers was dropped off directly in an intersection, leading to these wooly screenshots.

So far the grift has always worked though...so why would he stop?

It's not his fault if some people are just falling for that BS time and time again. Unless consumers and stock holders stop him, he's gonna do the thing he does best (drugs and being a shit human being not withstanding) - grifting.

It worked for Enron! Until it didn't.
