Tesla's robotaxi reality check
After years of grand promises about how robotaxis would change the way we buy and use our cars, Tesla finally launched its taxi service. In one small portion of one city. With only a few cars and a few riders. Plus safety monitors in the passenger seat. Caution is a good thing in this industry, but what does all this say about where Tesla's self-driving efforts really stand? On this episode of The Vergecast, The Verge's Andy Hawkins tells us all about the early days of Tesla robotaxis. He talks us through the somewhat stealthy launch, how Tesla's robotaxi plans could grow from here, and why nobody — not even Waymo, which appears to be way ahead — has this race won. Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Overcast | Pocket Casts | More After that, The Verge's Allison Johnson joins the show to dive deep on MVNOs.

But it doesn't have to be that way, and a series of technical changes like e-SIMs and MVNOs could change the way we think about our cell service. Sometimes for good… and sometimes not. Who knew Ryan Reynolds could be such a tech innovator? Finally, we answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@ about how to free up space on your iPhone. It's a frustrating problem, made worse by Apple's underwhelming tech and absurd pricing, but there are a few ways to make your life a little easier.

Mount Dora project with Chick-fil-A, Texas Roadhouse, more gets timeline to open
Editor's note: This story is available as a result of a content partnership between WFTV and the Orlando Business Journal. A Lake County retail project with several high-profile tenants likely will see its restaurants debut by the end of the year, according to its developer. Andy Hawkins, development partner for Clearwater-based One Oak Development, told Orlando Business Journal restaurant tenants at Mount Dora Groves South — his firm's 17-acre project on the south side of U.S. 441 in Mount Dora near Loch Levin and adjacent Taylor Morrison's large residential project there — should open by the fourth quarter. These include Chick-fil-A, Texas Roadhouse, First Watch and Mission BBQ, plus a to-be-named restaurant concept negotiating for a 3,000-square-foot space. Heartland Dental also is confirmed as a tenant for the project, which is permitted and under construction, along with a Fifth Third Bank and Circle K.
