I’m excited to share Episode 127 of Gail’s Tesla Podcast, where I take my friend, Eli (@TheCaptainEli on X), who travelled from Israel, on his very first Robotaxi ride right here in Austin, Texas.
What started as a simple evening outing turned into an unforgettable adventure filled with surprises.
We hopped into a brilliant RED Tesla Robotaxi, and set off into the night. Almost immediately, we noticed another Robotaxi trailing us closely— was it a coincidence, or something more coordinated?
We were puzzled and intrigued as it even waited for us at a traffic light. The real jaw-dropper came at the end when our Robotaxi flawlessly parked itself in a 2-hour spot, a feature we hadn’t seen before.
The ride was smooth, safe, and a testament to how far Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology has come.
Captain Eli’s reactions were priceless—he was amazed by the seamless navigation through Austin’s bustling streets, the intuitive interface, and the overall futuristic feel. We chatted about everything from the tech behind Robotaxi to its potential impact on urban mobility.
If you’re curious about the future of transportation, check out the full episode video on X here. It’s about 7 minutes of pure excitement!
I’m currently Beta testing the Robotaxi in Austin, Texas, and looking forward to wide release of this incredible product from Tesla made here in Austin!
