Part 3/8:
Scaling up production is critical for Tesla, whose mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. The operational model for autonomous vehicles differs significantly from personally owned vehicles—robo-taxis, for instance, are expected to operate for over 12 hours a day, drastically increasing their utilization rates compared to spending most of their time idle. To fulfill its mission, Tesla must reduce the cost per mile of using their robo-taxis to attract a broader market share, ensuring profitability while maintaining service quality.
