Part 3/9:
Dissecting Tesla’s Autonomous Revenue Model
A key question from the interviewer revolved around how Tesla plans to monetize its autonomous initiatives. Currently, Tesla operates a limited number of robo-taxis generating minor service revenue. But the bigger question is profitability and timeline.
Ies emphasizes that Tesla's autonomous network will be owned and operated by Tesla itself. This network, expected to have between 500,000 and 1 million vehicles, will serve as the foundation for a cyber fleet and robo taxi ecosystem.
