Part 3/12:
One of the most crucial metrics to assess at this stage is how many Robo Taxis are operational on the roads. Tesla's internal data revealed that, even prior to the launch, there were approximately 35 Robo Taxis already active, surpassing Elon Musk’s early estimates of 10 to 20. These vehicles had logged about 499 miles collectively, averaging roughly five miles per trip, suggesting active pre-commercial testing and early deployment.
However, it’s important to clarify that these 35 vehicles are part of a pre-commercial phase, not yet fully available to the general public. They include test units and early pilots, indicating significant progress but not yet mass-market readiness.
