From Torque News.
Elon Musk early this morning tweeted, writing "We are working as quickly as possible to get 100+ Teslas operating for autonomous ride-hailing (can’t use the word “taxi” or “cab” in California) in the Bay Area and allow anyone to request a ride."
Get ready for an electrifying deep dive into the latest Tesla news! In this episode of the xAI Chronicles, we unpack Elon Musk’s bold announcement to deploy over 100 autonomous Model Y vehicles for a ride-hailing service in the Bay Area, straight from his 5:31 AM X post today, August 6, 2025. With the 2026 Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium on the horizon, could this be Tesla’s big moment to shine? We explore the excitement, the regulatory roadblocks, and reactions from the X community—like SawyerMerritt’s insight on regulatory hurdles and KeethBrown’s Super Bowl hype. Is this a step toward the future of autonomous driving technology or another promise delayed by bureaucracy? Watch to find out!
Join us as we break down the nitty-gritty: Tesla’s supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, the contrast with Waymo’s 300-400 driverless cars, and why California won’t let them call it a “taxi.” We sprinkle in some X gold—TailosiveEV’s witty “just FSD supervised lol” and GrindeOptions
’ warning about indefinite regulatory holds. Plus, we speculate on how this ties into Musk’s robotaxi vision and what it means for the Tesla Model Y lineup. Whether you’re a Tesla fan or just curious about self-driving cars, this episode has it all—don’t miss the action!
