Just in time for al fresco dining season, too. But for real, don’t make your courier hack through a jungle or swim across rivers to find you. And don’t forget to tip!

The company’s promise — and its future — rests with its next product, the more affordable R2 vehicle.
Just in time for SXSW! But alas, the descending tech bros won’t get a chance to take selfies in the backseat of Google’s robotaxis this time around. The driverless cars will only be available to Waymo employees until the company feels confident enough to open it up to the public.

The electric Charger will come in two variants, but Dodge isn’t ready to abandon the gas-guzzling V6 quite yet.
Ford EV owners are the first to get access, with the company opening up orders for complimentary NACS-to-CCS adapters starting today. And (as noticed by Electrek) next in line will be GM, Rivian, Polestar, and Volvo. The companies will also need to roll out software updates to allow Tesla’s chargers to automatically recognize their vehicles for billing purposes.

A judge approved the class status of a group of nearly 6,000 Black employees of Tesla who are suing the company over claims of racial bias and harassment. The employees sued the company in 2017, alleging they suffered constant, often daily racial discrimination and harassment, and that the electric car company did little to nothing to stop the behavior. Tesla is likely to appeal the ruling.
Tesla was also sued last year by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for similar reasons.
