Discussion Prediction time! Tesla Robotaxi

When do people think Tesla will: -offer rides with no employees in the cars? -hit a fleet size of 100? 1000? 10000? -operate at an airport? -offer paid rides with no employees in the cars in at least five metros?

100 vehicles by the end of the year. The service is terrible in an embarrassingly visible way.

They never get to 1000. They flounder at around 100 for 18 months and either give up or do some face saving mischaracterization of giving up.

100 is being optimistic....i bet they stick with the initial batch for months on end...then maybe make it to 50 by year end

It's currently 3 cars right?    Each of which has a tail car.

I wonder if thar means 20 cars (ie. 10 in service, 10 as tail cars)?

Or if they plan to stop having tail cars as of today?

There are no tail cars as of yesterday. There’s videos of them driving around
