Now that Tesla is set to remove safety riders from the Austin Robotaxi fleet, the ramp-up will be shocking
The company will no longer be constrained by how many human operators need to be hired and paid

It can keep adding vehicles until the fleet permeates the entire metro region and squeezes competitors out of business
A Model Y Robotaxi with a 10:1 car-to-teleoperator ratio costs about $0.60 per mile to operate
Charging $1 per mile still yields roughly a 40% margin per mile
If a Model Y costs about $30k to build in Texas and each Robotaxi handles ~35 paid trips per day (~2 per hour), the vehicle would pay for itself in roughly three months
After that, profit could be around $10k per month per car — absolutely insane economics
A full Robotaxi model breaks down these calculations
