Tesla's fleet isn't 1,000 robotaxis: only 439 registered vehicles, all in Texas

Tesla creator Dillon Loomis debunks the '1,000 robotaxis' claim: Bay Area vehicles being tracked are still supervised ridehail, not robotaxis — Tesla lacks the required California permits. Only 439 vehicles are registered for Robotaxi operation, all in Texas, and the operational count is materially lower; Florida details also covered.
