📍 Drive Tesla Canada

Tesla has received final approval to operate up to 5,000 robotaxis in Nevada, removing the previous 10-vehicle limit under interim authorization. The company plans to launch the service with Model Y vehicles in Clark County, including Las Vegas, and expects to expand the fleet based on demand. Although the permit allows up to 5,000 vehicles within 12 months, Tesla estimates deploying that many could take years, targeting around 2,500 vehicles in the first year. Future plans include adding Cybercab vehicles and expanding to other Nevada areas.

🔎 Why it matters: The final permit version removes the initial 10-vehicle limit and enables Tesla to scale its robotaxi fleet in Nevada, starting with Model Y and later Cybercab.
📈 Upside: Allows Tesla to significantly expand its commercial robotaxi service in a key market like Las Vegas.
📉 Risk: Mass deployment of 5,000 vehicles may take years and depends on actual demand and pending administrative steps.
