10 hours after writing about how Tesla only has one robotaxi in both Dallas and Houston, more than 48 hrs after the service was publicly launched, Tesla has added additional robotaxis to each city.

In this story, I attempt to find out. Also, I talk to several car reviewers who say that Chinese companies are paying some influencers under the table for positive coverage.

The result is a deluge of video content praising the country's auto industry and lamenting the fact that we can't buy these cars here. But what is DCar? And why are they promoting Chinese EVs to US creators so aggressively?

Leave it to Sean Duffy to make a critical safety milestone — the introduction of a female crash test dummy — grossly transphobic and weird

The group is aiming for a big turnout this weekend at the diner. Tesla fans have been waiting years for its opening, and it's sure to be an interesting clash between Elon fans and the LA's increasingly radical protest community

I spoke to organizer Joel Lava, who said that while the protests have diminished slightly since Elon Musk stepped away from DOGE, the group is buoyed by Tesla's awful earnings reports.

The bully schtick is getting super old. USDOT threatening NYC with funding cuts and bureaucratic foot-dragging if they don't end congestion pricing. I hope Hochul calls Duffy's bluff and ties everything up in court.

What is Sean Duffy's beef with NYC? Between trying to shut down congestion pricing, denigrating the subway as some sort of Mad Max-style hellscape, and now this, I wonder if some bodega fucked up his lunch order many years ago and now he's out for revenge.

I think it's important to note we didn't see any violence or vandalism in reporting on these protests. The only aggressive behavior came from pro-Tesla/Musk counter protesters (throwing water, pepper spray) bsky.app/profile/andy...

I was worried that the #TeslaTakedown protests were getting too professionalized, hiring PR reps, working with advocacy groups — that it would lose its scrappy, grassroots vibe. But I must say this graf from their press release was *chef's kiss*

Conversation was brief, but answers were very thoughtful. He's definitely trying to put on a brave face considering all his policies stand to be eliminated under Trump. I'm not sure whether he should really be counting on any Republican legislator to push back.
