Part 5/9:
Tesla is deliberately limiting service capacity to prevent overwhelming demand, which could result in excessive wait times. This is a short-term strategy as the company rapidly scales its fleet—initially allowing select users, then gradually expanding availability as operational capacity grows.
Looking ahead, Tesla's long-term vision involves a massive autonomous fleet that would operate with minimal human oversight. As the fleet expands, costs per mile will plummet, enabling Tesla to price rides competitively, potentially reshaping the entire transportation landscape.
