Part 5/12:
A key event on the horizon is Tesla’s full launch of its autonomous RoboTaxi service in Austin, Texas. Many analysts and enthusiasts consider this launch potentially one of the most pivotal moments in Tesla’s history. When approved by regulators, the deployment of the first batch of fully autonomous RoboTaxis—initially around 20 to 50 units—will trigger a transformative growth phase for the company.
Based on current projections, the rollout of RoboTaxis could begin as early as this week, around June 15. In subsequent months, the number of deployed vehicles is expected to grow exponentially, with estimates suggesting 70 RoboTaxis in Austin by September 2023, scaling rapidly to over 500 by the end of the year under optimistic assumptions.
