Investors should've known they were being taken for the proverbial 'ride' when Tesla didn't even trust their driverless cars to operate without a driver in an access-restricted Las Vegas tunnel, where Tesla controls the environment top to bottom.

I was wondering if their taxi turned from an inconvenient 2-seater to a very incovenient 1-seater plus a dummy driver, but I guess they're testing with model Xes, not the 2-seaters they demoed...

They are cosplaying robotaxis to hold the stock price up.

Is there any publicly accessible data on the engagement rate of the safety monitors?

It is absolutely hilarious to me that they call these "robotaxis". But this is just another in a long line of examples of Tesla naming things in ways just so they can sound like their capabilities are much more than they are.
