Ellie Sheriff, a YouTuber and Elon Musk stan, said she was forced to exit the robotaxi near a windy field "because weather is coming in." When she attempted to get another ride, the app claimed there was "high service demand." However, moments later, they were able to hail another robotaxi to get them back to the place where they started ... ostensibly amid the same weather conditions.

Something needs to go right for TSLA before it’s all gone.

"It is about to sprinkle! Get out NOW!" As a person with FSD, can concur that even a tiny bit of rain confuses the FSD, so this is understandable.

Once a house of cards gets too big, its too late for anything to go right. It's all been smoke and mirrors, and now the curtains been pulled.

There is no world where I would EVER get into a driverless Elon Musk taxi. None.

Warning driving needed please exit vehicle

With our new riderless technology, if there's bad weather you can get the f*** out and walk

I can see they installing Goldfinger’s Aston Martin DB5 ejection seats for such a case.

That counts as two rides. Exponential growth ahead.

Just think, there is probably an alternate universe out there where you ARE the robobtaxi.

liquidgrill 2025-07-08 00:01

I’m glad I’m this me, lol

Well $8.40 is $8.40. It could be the last money that tesler can see amid trumps bill in US, harsh competition in China and decline of sales in Europe

>"I don't want to just be a Tesla rah-rah cheerleader," And yet....

Brave_Quantity_5261 2025-07-08 00:24

“Jane gives 2 rides” Obscure reference. I’m sorry

Brave_Quantity_5261 2025-07-08 00:26

Ok you get to choose between a robotaxi or a Tesla driven by a k-holed musk: which one you doing?

Brave_Quantity_5261 2025-07-08 00:28

So did the robotaxi just drive away after she got out? Like, sorry we can’t safely drive you in the rain, but we still have to get back to base in this weather…

Imagine if all vehicles in the world behaved like this. Planes, buses, trains... the minute it rains everything just stops. What a shit show Tesler is.

Lacrewpandora 2025-07-08 02:44

Kind of awkward for the safety driver who just rode away.

Bibblegead1412 2025-07-08 04:16

Walking.

ShotBandicoot7 2025-07-08 04:46

Oh boy, that got me deep. A reference to the theory of infinite time and space out there, wouldn‘t have expected that on wsb! Have an upvote!!

If she had a gun she would have needed only one...

"Hi there, GET THE FUCK OUT!"

DisastrousIncident75 2025-07-08 06:27

Nice of them to be proactive about safety and end the ride even before it started raining (which eventually it did not).

ahora-mismo 2025-07-08 06:31

i honestly don't understand these people. they are gambling their life on testing a service from a proven repeating scammer.

Radiant-Painting581 2025-07-08 06:49

There are days I’d take that timeline over this one.

Radiant-Painting581 2025-07-08 06:52

Heh, reminds me of a reply I got perhaps in this here sub: “95% of all Teslas manufactured are still on the road. The other 5% managed to make it back home.”

Moceannl 2025-07-08 06:55

So taxi's are working except when it rains? Great business model...

ExcitingMeet2443 2025-07-08 08:01

I only Heil taxis when it's raining

ExcitingMeet2443 2025-07-08 08:02

It's all confuser

ExcitingMeet2443 2025-07-08 08:06

Fuck! Scatter, Downpour!

ephix 2025-07-08 08:30

Wasn’t it the same robotaxi that told them to get out?

bbbbbbbbbblah 2025-07-08 15:53

i'm wondering what the purpose of the "safety rider" is if they can neither manually finish a journey nor act as tesla's representative.

VitaminPb 2025-07-09 00:17

In another universe, this comment would actually have been in wsb.

LivingDracula 2025-07-12 00:22

Slight correction. Tesla spells it as heil, not "hail". Weird but true

DaLurker87 2025-07-13 03:15

It's scary enough that we are on the road with these death traps

alaorath 2025-07-15 14:55

TIL a Robotaxi can be defeated with a watergun.

Upstairs_Being290 2025-07-18 03:59

We'll revisit this at a later time.
