Tesla Skepticism Continues to Grow, Robotaxi Demo Fails to Impress Austin
TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 22 – Survey shows 65% of US consumers unaware of Tesla's limited Austin robotaxi launch; regulatory scrutiny follows safety incidents involving human safety operators.

- Facing rapid moves by rivals, Tesla plans to expand its geofence in the coming weeks, intensifying competitive pressure from Waymo and others.
