@JD_West2006 I've interpreted the Virginia AI Safety Operator hiring and the various vehicle test sightings as being for Washington, D.C., rather than Virginia. But it's possible I'm mistaken. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tesla Robotaxi is now hiring and testing in 39 cities, with three cities now offering unsupervised rides.

Dear Pope:
The Catholic Church could dissolve itself and sell off its global assets, valued at roughly $1.5 Trillion.
Looking forward to you distributing this disproportionate wealth to the millions living in extreme poverty.
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

The lesson here is that I need to have more chutzpah.
FBI Los Angeles@FBILosAngeles
An Orange County man, Paul Richard Randall, 66, of Orange, has pleaded guilty to submitting nearly $270 million in fraudulent claims over an 11-month span to Medi-Cal for expensive prescription drugs containing generic ingredients that were not medically necessary and, in many instances, not provided to the purported recipients. Randall peaded guilty Monday to one count of wire fraud committed while on release. He has been in federal custody since June 2025. Additional details on this case and other fraud cases announced today can be found here: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

Hi Tyler. It depends how you phrase the prompt. Cybercabs and LiDAR testing have been spotted in at least 15 states, but that could just be weather testing or FSD testing - it doesn't necessarily indicate Robotaxi expansion. I'm doing my best extrapolation with the data available, but ultimately I will certainly be wrong to some degree.
English
Tesla Robotaxi appears to be laying groundwork in at least 25 cities now.
Big thanks to @SawyerMerritt and the Tesla community for sharing much of the data that allows me to compile these charts.
English
@Durrettcustoms @MilMileBattery @SawyerMerritt You're right that Dallas and Forth Worth aren't really the same thing. I will make a note for the next draft of this chart. Thanks!

English
@Tr0110wski @SawyerMerritt You're right - that cell should read 7/31. Going forward, I will probably just post my Excel sheet. Until the AI improves, it seems to misread the Excel and scramble certain characters.
English
@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt it also altered dates, unless juli has 33 days now.
i'm also not so sure, the thing is correct.
it looks cool, but if the data is wrong, it is worse than useless
English
@JohnCarney5670 @SawyerMerritt Oh snap. You're right! Looks like Tesla Insurance reached Florida in December. Thanks for catching that!
English
@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt The graphic says Tesla insurance is not yet available in Florida. This is incorrect, I am in FL and have Tesla insurance.

@tnertz @SawyerMerritt Well-spotted, Trent. It's an amazing community!

@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt Thanks for updating Illinois with my exclusive reporting

.@Tesla_AI validation LiDAR team cruising down Elston Ave this afternoon. Seems like almost every time I go thru Avondale, I see something interesting…the high odds of randomly seeing something means that @Tesla is working all the time to get @robotaxi to Chicago.
English
@buddycurtis0 @SawyerMerritt I uploaded my Excel chart to Gemini Nano Banana and said, “make this chart look cooler.” Then I reran the prompt a dozen times until it rendered one with the least amount of bizarre typos.
English
@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt Actually it’s pretty cool. Did you use grok imagine ? What was the prompt? Did you load your excel sheet first ?
English
@shai_machnes @SawyerMerritt That's all in the chart. Tesla has advertised for different types of roles and keeps changing the job titles... So I just lump them under the headings "Vehicle Operator ads" or "Fleet Support ads."
English
@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt I would consider adding hiring data for each city (e.g. when did Tesla start advertising for positions in each city).
English
@Jamesthehut @SawyerMerritt Omg, you're right. Good catch!!
English
@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt You missed one. Utah - Draper has been hiring robotaxi driver monitors and insurance related job roles so that city ground work is close too
English
@shai_machnes @SawyerMerritt I just compile the data in Excel as I search for it each week. You could probably use AI to scrape my raw data out of this chart 👍
English
@jonathanwstokes @SawyerMerritt Is the raw data available anywhere?

@DebHopkins73 Hi Debbie, I have outlined the next few Addisons on my computer. I'm just waiting to get a green light from Penguin Random House, which has had changes in their leadership and their mandates. I do hope to continue Addison's adventures as soon as I am given a thumbs up.
English
@jonathanwstokes are you going to write more of the Addison Cooke series? I’m trying to find a good series for my 10 yr old nephew but I’m looking for more than 3 in a series. But if you’re going to add to the series then I definitely will get him tbis series! 💞💞💞

New pod: Fascinating new data on the length of movies. Yes, they’re getting longer overall, but only certain genres. Why? With producer @Todd_Garner and data from @StephenFollows. Listen! Watch! open.spotify.com/episode/1iDk2n…

Tesla Robotaxi is slooowly catching up to Waymo. I'm posting this updated chart now because things may change rapidly in the coming quarter. Stay tuned!
English
@TeslaBoomerMama To be clear, I am not psyched about insiders selling... I'm just pointing out that many large SpaceX funds have liquidity events written into their bylaws. So, if it's true there is no lock-up period, trading day 1 could be...interesting!
English
@TeslaBoomerMama Love this! I'm curious about rumors that SpaceX will not have a lock-up for insiders. I am invested in a SpaceX SPV that is designed to sell its shares on the first day that lock-up expires. So there could be considerable sell-pressure to balance into your equation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guys, this community ❤️
