Is $TSLA really sandbagging Robotaxi or is the real bottleneck just the brutal reality of scaling?

200+ Cybercabs already spotted in staging lots. Over 100 sitting in Houston alone. The hardware is here.

But Nevada tells the real story: 42 Cybercabs ready to roll, but the interim permit caps Tesla at just 10 autonomous vehicles on limited routes.

Then layer in the operational nightmare: pickup/drop-off zones that don't exist yet, remote support infrastructure, charging depot logistics, and FSD v15 still needed to nail those final 100 feet where most robotaxi chaos happens.

The cars are real. The system to run them at scale? That's the actual challenge.

This isn't a demand problem or a tech problem anymore. It's a regulatory crawl + operational build-out grind. Classic Tesla: hardware ships fast, everything else takes longer than the bulls want.

If you're long $TSLA for Robotaxi, the timeline just got more realistic. If you're trading it, watch for FSD v15 rollout and Nevada permit expansion as the next real catalysts.
