What I learned about how $TSLA Tesla RoboTaxi works.
There is one single vehicle operating in Austin at any given time.
It’s like an ice cream truck.
(1) You get in a vehicle and drive to its current location or destination based on the live map and expect a 20-30 minute wait time. Park your car and wait for RoboTaxi to return to your location.
(2) You study the live tracking maps to find hotspot destinations where it’s most likely to make a visit, you sit with the app open for hours and wait for it to switch from “high demand” and book immediately and wait 30 minutes.
How do we know it’s a single car? The bookable area always moves as a single blob in the city, never breaks away to 2 blobs.
I experienced it this weekend. It’s not a RoboTaxi, it’s a single FSD demo vehicle.
