Helping to keep Tesla’s stock grotesquely overvalued.

I assume it is meant to show that “self driving” is real and that Musk somehow delivered on his promises of a completely different product.

I highlighted that bit from the story, so it was poorly communicated in the story.
(From your source, the word “discretionary” reads a bit odd because it sounds like the driver could tell a disabled person no. I see that while their pass could be denied, it has more to do with the different bus systems and reimbursement from one agency–who issues the passes–to a different bus service within a different municipality.)

The fourth para of the Metro story
He wasn’t able to travel on February 1 and 2 as part of the challenge due to reduced service frequencies over the weekend.
Not because he couldn’t travel on a bus but because the bus service was insufficient.
You probably haven’t read the Metro often – poor communication is what they do (after all, it is part of the Daily Mail Group).
It is the TCA which has the discretion not the driver (although there are frequent horror stories of disabled, aged and other concession travellers being denied access, despite it being illegal).

Elon Musk —
For the past several days, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y cars (no one in driver’s seat) on Austin public streets with no incidents. [One specially chosen fresh from the factory and several days use. Means nothing.]
A month ahead of schedule. [Teased in 2016; unveiled in 2019. Years behind schedule.]
Next month, first self-delivery from factory to customer. [See above for history of delivery dates. Also, again, customers’ real-world experience will be de facto extensive testing that we have decided to forego. Good luck, lab rats.]

His grossly unrealistic promises also accomplish that. Elon vapor.

Here’s How Tesla Glued Together The Cybertruck That Broke During Trailer Hitch Testing
This is actually quite neat and clever.

This is neat and interesting, but the tl;dr could be that Tesla repairs in these situations are similar to those of other automakers that use the same adhesive (Fusor 2098) for permanently bonding metal panels without welding. It is incredibly strong (and expensive).

The last car on the list - the 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Figoni Fastback Coupé (deep breath) - is truly a wonderful thing.
