Gail’s Tesla Podcast Episode 164: Robotaxi Ride to SXSW with Optimus, Cybercab, and Exclusive Interviews

In this episode, I hopped into a Robotaxi and rode straight to SXSW in Austin. The autonomous drive was smooth and confident as we moved through city streets, delivering another strong example of Tesla’s real-world FSD progress in Texas.

At the event I spent time with both Optimus and the Cybercab. The displays looked impressive under bright Texas sunshine during the day and equally striking with starlight views at night. I also recorded rare interviews with David Moss and Josh West — two dedicated voices in the Tesla community who shared their perspectives on autonomy and the future of abundance.

This episode captures practical Robotaxi use, up-close looks at Tesla’s latest robotics and vehicle tech, and thoughtful conversations about where the technology is headed right now.
