If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

TBH even if they got robo taxis working (and I think that's a big if without lidar) they'd be even more of a lightning rod for vandalism than personal vehicles and dealerships. They'd more thoroughly represent Tesla than personal cars and they'd be safer targets than dealerships since they could be summoned into a known (camera free) environment which would minimize risk to anyone who wanted to paint it or drop a rock on it or whatever. Especially if they were active long enough for their behavior and routes to get predictable.
