$TSLA $ARKK $DRIV #Tesla #Robotaxi #Cybercab #Autonomy #NHTSA #Investing In July TON618 armed a trigger that would reverse its Tesla call: an independently counted fleet of cars carrying riders with no employee aboard in the thousands, with a published third-party safety record. Half of it moved. On 21 October the community Robotaxi Tracker listed 511 cars in service without a monitor, 190 of them Cybercabs; by TON618's tally of its listings, about 300 distinct cars were sighted in the last 30 days and 49 in the last 7, against roughly 21 in July. The measures disagree by an order of magnitude, and every one of them is above July's. The other half did not. Crash reports filed with the federal safety regulator for Tesla's robotaxi rose to 36 from 22 in July, by Electrek's count, and Tesla's new safety page claims 3.1 million monitor-free miles without an injury by its own definitions; that is a company document, and no independent per-mile study exists yet. Read one way, the ramp is under way. Read the other, a count without a safety record is half the evidence. The reading rule: a 30-day sighting count above 2,000 by the first-quarter 2027 print holds the base case; below 1,000 at the second-quarter print lengthens the robotaxi stage from four years to six; above 2,000 with a third-party safety record moves it toward the bull case's path.
