Remember when Tesla was going to have 1,000 fully autonomous Robotaxis "within a few months"? Now, nearly a year after Tesla Robotaxi's launch, Tesla is operating a measly fleet of 42 vehicles in Texas with remote operators! In San Francisco, Tesla hasn't even applied for a driverless permit.

In May, Elon Musk said that Tesla would have 1,000 autonomous Robotaxis in Austin within a few months. 5 months later, Tesla has an estimated 29 supervised "Robotaxis" in Austin. Waymo has 2,500 fully autonomous robotaxis doing over 250,000 paid rides a week. Elon's predictions aren't very good. By his standard that means he isn't very smart.

A driverless Tesla Robotaxi was spotted on the roads of Austin, Texas today. No one in the car. No safety driver. Fully autonomous. This is actually happening.

Tesla Semi is a massively overlooked Tesla product. A lot of people have no idea it’s even a thing. These will become autonomous delivery vehicles. No driver, no fatigue.

TESLA SHOWS THE FUTURE: FULLY AUTONOMOUS ROBOTAXI, NO DRIVER, NO BACKUP Tesla is not testing robotaxis anymore. It is rolling them out. * No driver. No backup. Zero remote help across thousands of miles * Autonomy now runs as a service, not just a feature inside your car * No human touch needed. Just code, cameras, and confidence * Designed for scale. Every mile trains the system and sharpens the fleet * Not built to assist drivers. Built to replace them Tesla is not asking for permission. It is showing what comes next. Source: Tesla

Tesla has reportedly submitted plans for a carwash dedicated for Robotaxis in Las Vegas. The permit, filed with Clark County on May 12th, describes "Tesla Center Cybercab Phase 2 Car Wash." According to the project description, the work involves interior and exterior improvements to an existing facility, including the construction of a car wash enclosure, relocation of tire service equipment, and the installation of power raceways. This seems to suggest that Tesla is building a full-service maintenance hub specifically designed to handle the unique needs of an autonomous fleet. via Not a Tesla App/MarcoRP:

In May, Elon Musk told CNBC that Tesla's Austin "Robotaxis" would be fully autonomous. This turned out to be a total lie. 6 months later, Tesla's Robotaxi still has a human supervisor behind the wheel! In July, Waymo announced it was testing in Dallas with safety drivers. 4 months later, Waymo's Dallas fleet is now fully autonomous. Tesla is helplessly watching the robotaxi race from the sidelines.

Trump on the impact to Tesla with his new 25% automotive tariffs: "It could be a net neutral or maybe good. He (Elon) has a big plant in Texas and California. Anybody that has pants in the US it's going to be good for." Tesla doesn't import any finished vehicles into the US. Every Tesla sold in the US is currently built in Texas or California.

Tesla just unlocked FSD in China after years of waiting. One of the biggest autonomous-driving AI moments of the year. China is the largest EV market on Earth. Tesla can finally start rolling out its autonomous-driving ecosystem there after years of regulatory limbo. That’s not a small switch being flipped. The timing feels extremely intentional. Tesla is opening the door to its most important long-term AI market outside the U.S. Tesla

Bloomberg reports that for the first time, Tesla operated a test vehicle on public roads in Austin with no one in the driver's seat. A Tesla engineer was riding in a passenger seat of a Model Y SUV, which drove autonomously with no remote operation.

.Elon Musk says that "the right metric for intelligence is the ability to predict the future." Elon says that if your predictions are not very good, you're not that smart. During his interview with CNBC, Elon confirmed that there would be fully autonomous Teslas on the streets of Austin by the end of June. I predicted that Tesla would not have non-geofenced, unsupervised Full Self-Driving Teslas in Austin by July 1. Today is July 1, and Elon's predictions were completely wrong. By his own definition of intelligence, he is not that smart. I have always been better at predicting things about Tesla Full Self-Driving than Elon Musk is. That's why No Safe Words crowned me the "world's leading autonomous vehicle safety expert". As I predicted, Tesla's "Robotaxi" is geofenced to a small area in Austin. It is not autonomous, and is supervised both remotely and from the passenger seat. The only passengers it has carried so far are Tesla Cultists and shareholders. Tesla has not launched a real robotaxi service like the one Waymo operates. The 11 supervised robotaxis it has deployed made at least 17 safety critical and driving errors in just the first week of operation. Elon predicted in October 2024 that Tesla would have a 30% growth in sales in 2025. Tesla's sales fell 13% in Q1 2025 and tomorrow's delivery numbers are expected to be similarly terrible. I predict that Tesla's sales growth in 2025 will be less than 30%. Elon also predicted every year for the past 11 years that Tesla would solve autonomous driving by the end of the year. His predictions have been wrong every single year for over a decade. I predict that Tesla will not solve autonomous driving this year. Elon says "you're as intelligent as you can predict the future well". He is terrible at predicting the future, so according to "the right metric for intelligence", he is not that smart. Elon also predicted that Tesla would have a "thousand" robotaxis "within a few months" during his CNBC interview. I predict that by October 1, Tesla will not have 1,000 robotaxis offering unsupervised rides to ordinary customers.

Recently Ross Gerber mentioned that it will be impossible for Tesla to scale quickly with their Robotaxi plans because they have yet to build any infrastructure as similar to Waymo. I am willing to bet a generous amount of money that Tesla is well aware of Waymo’s infrastructure and their struggles to efficiently manage their fleet. Tesla does not have $15 billion of excess Capital to waste each year on a copycat Fleet management process. Nor would they spend it if they had an additional $100 billion in excess capital. After validating each geographical map area, Tesla will sell Robotaxis to individual buyers, it’s possible that there will be an up fitting process to enter your own Tesla into the Robotaxi fleet. Tesla will sell cybercabs to individuals and fleets that can come online anytime the owner decides. There is no alternative viable method to saturate the market. Tesla is not going to purchase 100 separate properties in Los Angeles and pay minimum wage workers to clean puke out of vehicles. It’s not going to happen. Tesla is going to take the high margin SAS profits and determine the appropriate costs per mile breakdown to make a viable business model for vehicle owners. Coming soon- The Shepherd Model by Tesla. As mentioned many times before, The process to develop a nationwide network of fleet owners and shepherds is the foundation to also handle the deployment of Optimus robots for temporary gigs, part-time work, and generally cool shit. Optimus robots will be serving food at a wedding near you in the year 2030. How do you think they will get there? Who do you think is going to own them? Who do you think is going to fix them? Who do you think is going to drop them off for service and replacement parts?

🇺🇸 TESLA GOES FULL DRIVERLESS: PUBLIC ROBOTAXI RIDES IN AUSTIN WITH ZERO HUMANS Tesla launched public Robotaxi rides in Austin without a Safety Monitor in the vehicle, the first time no one but the rider sat inside. The monitor had been mandatory since the program's June launch for safety. Tesla aimed to remove it by end of 2025 but pulled it off in January. Not the whole fleet yet, just some unsupervised vehicles mixed in. Program also runs in the Bay Area with monitors. Source: Teslarati, Shahzad Para
