There is no mass production of Tesla robotaxis. The most generous interpretation of the claim of mass production is that they are no longer handcrafted by a prototype shop, and that work has moved into a Tesla facility. But that's not a production line, and that's not mass production.

Every Tesla car that hasn't got someone in the driver's seat with the steering wheel in front of them is being followed by a chase car and a remote operator.

But this is all fresh BS. How many times has Elon claimed that Tesla semi is in mass production?

You have successfully rebutted my use of the word "mass". What about the substance of the argument?
