On Monday, Tesla posted a picture of the robotaxi's new coverage area within Austin, focusing mainly on moving north up I-35 and a wider swath of South Austin below Lady Bird Lake. And it looks like a penis. "Harder, better, faster, stronger," the company's official robotaxi account posted on X, alongside a photo of the map.

Musk recently announced the Robotaxi project's expansion in Austin, and added that the Robotaxi service may expand to the Bay Area "in a month or two." We shudder to think which shape the Robotaxi geofenced area may take over there.
