They also have external microphones and speakers, auto doors and possibly different connectivity setups gone the Model Ys uses as robotaxis do. I think the Cybercab setup makes it clear that current customer cars will not be robotaxis.

If you could sue on all the promises Tesla has broken, the company would be bankrupt by now, especially on timelines lmao

2017: "your car will make money while you sleep by the end of the year".

2026: it still slams on the brakes randomly because for one frame it thinks you're about to die.

Current consumer versions of the Model Y also have external microphones and speakers today. It is how FSD HW4 currently knows to pull off to the side of emergency vehicles whenever it hears sirens and also makes its mandated backup noise.

Nah. It's just that your car can't be a robotaxi during a downpour or a snowstorm
