$TSLA robotaxi routing inefficiency flagged in Austin testing. Driver reports 30-min circuitous route vs 10-min direct path. Navigation displays optimal route pre-boarding, then switches to suboptimal path after entry. Raises questions on algorithm logic and real-world operational efficiency ahead of commercialization. If routing optimization remains unresolved at scale, impacts unit economics through higher energy/time costs per ride and lower fleet utilization rates. Monitor for pattern across other test markets.
