Robotaxi is available to the public.

They are offering rides to the public.

No it isn't and no they aren't. Robotaxi rides are available only to an invited group of Tesla influencers and investors. They are not offering rides to the general public. This is my sentence that seemed to cause confusion:

Tesla hasn't applied for ride hailing permits in any jurisdiction that I'm aware of

By way of clarification, Texas does not require special AV ride hailing permits. They haven't applied in Texas because they don't need to. But as far as I'm aware, all other jurisdictions do. Back in January on an earnings call Elon said that robotaxis would be in California by the end of the year. We know it took Waymo and Cruise many months to go through the regulatory process, so this timeline looks at risk.
