They're so comfortable being dicks towards each other and it's great. I'd pay to be in Teddy and Starla's place; the entertainment would be fantastic. I'm rooting for Midnight to be more comfortable with herself and her relationship with John in public, sure, but if it weakens their banter then I might have to oppose it...
Now, Starla, those aren’t just swear words. They’re power words that mechanics since time immemorial have used to convince recalcitrant machine spirits it’s time to pony up and get to work again.
Be careful what you ask for, Mids.
The dialogue in this story is great.
Heh, adding dust just to make it look more worn is funny. Everyone has their ideas... 😇
As much as I appreciate old cars that have been restored to showroom-perfect shape, I prefer "sympathetic restoration," where cars are allowed to show their age. I still laughed at Middie putting extra dust on the 300C.
That's just extra flavor! Seriously, I love the dialogue in this story.

My bad, apparently had my head up my ass since Sat – Ulthane hit my angle on the nose. Bio ponies were really just trying to take that next step in realism – getting rid of that 'artificial' feel that AI invariably has. I suppose a case could be made for other reasons of intimate relationships, but then you have to consider would that not go against the law further? Would that be beastiality?
I'm not digging into that hole, but I think it's hard to really justify that angle was a driving force behind this experiment.

This world managed to create seemingly sapient bots, bio ponies, and cyborgs that are so normalised that even a karen has one. We're talking much more advanced versions of ChatGPT + Boston Dynamic's Spot in a cute little pony package. Midnight and Starla are even more advanced than the average bot. So I'm not surprised if this world somehow developed affordable and automatic RFID scanners that work on moving targets kinda like those retail store exit scanners with local laws deeming it a necessity.
I'd imagine that the RFID tags serve a double purpose of detection and identification, similar to license plates in motor vehicles, Apple's AirTags, or more advanced versions of chips installed in irl pets. Much like stolen cars get flagged through their license plate, RFID could be used to flag stolen or "illegal" ponies so that they can be returned to their owners or wherever else they came from.
The ponies are treated like second class citizens, especially since that grocery store karen told both Midnight and that one Twilight bot they don't have rights. I'd argue that's pretty dystopian. Can't apply for a credit card, can't buy a house, can't buy a car, no voting rights, legally classified as pets, etc. Midnight and John may not realise that because everytime the go out, they always go out together. But if Midnight decides to venture out alone, that's when the issues come to light.
Side note:
If this story has a sequel sometime in the future, I wouldn't mind seeing a pony bot uprising in a Detroit: Become Human style.
True dat
Arguably a tragedy.

It would be closer to xenophilia instead, since they are clearly just as intelligent as any human, despite the alien form. Beastiality implies that there's only instincts there, no real intelligence.
