An unoccupied Tesla Robotaxi turned into a curb extension blocked by plastic bollards, crept forward and backed up repeatedly, then drove through and pushed past the posts. Footage surfaced shortly before Tesla's Cybercab public launch in Austin, undercutting Tesla's claim of 380,000+ unsupervised robotaxi miles with 'zero notable incidents.'
