...because the taxis rely on full self-driving, which has been a couple of years away for the entire span of Tesla's existence.

Capabilities aside, this simply won't happen without legislative change - Tesla won't wear the consequences of their cars killing people.

They're also a dumb design for a taxi

Actually embarrassing to look at.

At least the Cybertruck was going for that dystopia look. This just looks like trash.

Trash that's a rolling liability case, no emergency controls, seriously?

It's peak capitalism - a man of sub-normal intelligence was born into wealth, further expanded that wealth by using it to exploit the work and intelligence of others, until it grew large enough to entirely shield him from the consequences of his actions - all as his ego inflated to such fragility that he had to surround himself with nothing but sycophants and yes-men. When he decided to crack out the crayons and design his own Canyonero to prove his intelligence (and ability to meme with his fellow kids at 50-something years old), there was no one left to tell him no... Until he encountered insurers, the EU, a mild hill, a sprinkling of rain, or anyone looking at it without gushing adoration.
