Tesla has just officially expanded its robotaxi geofence in Houston, Texas. It's now MUCH larger and is shaped like a Starship rocket lol.

Tesla's @aelluswamy says FSD Unsupervised could start rolling out to customer cars in select areas the U.S. in Q2 2027. Those customers could then add their cars to the robotaxi network.

New Tesla Roadster info from the videos below: • Bespoke 4680 battery cell just for Roadster. Tesla's fastest charging battery, 15-80% charge in 10 mins. • Tesla wants to get to a <30 minute COPV tank refilling time, which will last ~5 seconds (single use before you have to refill it). • COPV uses an actuator from Tesla's Optimus robot • Roadster is capable of 0-60mph time of 0.55 seconds • 310-320 mile range • Up to 1,500 hp • Two motors, both on the rear axel • 10,000 psi COPV • 330+ mph top speed target • Rocket trim will be limited production • Almost every panel of the car moves in some way • Roadster is 2 meters wide • The pedals move for driver comfort.

I’m guessing $300 price tag, at least.

What’s a life-changing purchase under $100?

New logo for "SpaceXSI" 🤔 Pronounced "Sexi"
