The chart shows 438,000 miles for Tesla in the week through October 18 versus Waymo's 406,000-per-week Q2 average; Tesla's figure excludes customer-owned cars.

Tesla's growing Texas robotaxi roster could mean more vehicles deployed soon. Its 970 DMV registrations, including 463 Cybercabs, have significantly narrowed the gap with Waymo's 1,207. Registration does not mean those vehicles are operating in the field yet. x.com

Cybercabs outnumber Model Ys for the first time; autonomous miles have surpassed Waymo's in Austin. The next fleet doublings to 2,000, 4,000 and beyond should each take less time. The 690-Cybercab Thanksgiving line is a target, not a forecast. x.com  x.com  x.com
