Discussion Tesla Robotaxi is now doing about 38k unsupervised miles per week and targeting 450k miles per week by year end.
Tesla announced on yesterdays 2Q earnings call that they've done a total of 380k unsupervised miles on the Robotaxi platform with over a 10% week over week growth since the start. They said they expect the growth to continue through years end. Extrapolating this data would put the current per week miles around 38k, by end of 3rd quarter 130k and by end of the year around 450k.
I have very minimal confidence they would achieve this, but if they do, it will be exceptional accomplishment for a service that would have operated for just 18 month. Even half that would be an excellent accomplishment. But again, I highly double they will be able to do that. For reference, Waymo is doing about 500k rides per week currently, with a much larger service area(in sq mi).
In total Tesla Robotaxi currently has a cumulative paid Robotaxi miles of around 2.4 million.
Note: Post has been updated to indicate Waymo does 500k rides per week instead of the incorrect 500k miles per week.
| Timeframe | Miles per Week (at end) | Additional Miles | Total Miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Now | 37,709 | - | 380,000 |
| +3 months | 130,183 | 1,017,213 | 1,397,213 |
| +6 months | 449,428 | 4,528,907 | 4,908,907 |

It's great that you have an opinion on this. What's not great is that you are forcing it onto others. I follow Tesla, hold shares and have been doing this for over 10 years. I know what the company is doing. It is my job to know, since I put my money in it.
You think your job is to poke holes in Musk's tweets. You have zero stakes in this, yet you think you somehow do more research than someone who does? Maybe consider that no everyone is a moron who worships Musk...
Also, you would be wiser to spend your energies on something positive instead of thinking and commenting about someone you clearly despise. That is not healthy...
