This week Tesla files for a permit to operate 5000 robotaxis, hardware 3 owners band together for an FSD lawsuit and the Model YL is spotted in multiple US Tesla factories, signaling imminent news.

All right, let's get right into it because my pattern recognition is on overdrive this week.
We have the Model YL being spotted in the U.S. And honestly, I think all these are connected as part of this bigger story.
It does.
They've officially filed for the autonomous vehicle network permit in the state of Nevada.
And what I found fascinating was it's 5,000 robotaxis that are requesting permission to be able to operate.
And all of this is within the next 12 months.
None of it at this point has the cyber cabinet.
They're all Model Y labeled.
So this is fascinating to me.
So this will be significantly larger.
Now, they have said that they're not going to go into a full Robotaxi operation until V15 goes live, which is slated for the end of 26 or early 27.
It's sort of like we're getting clues to a bigger story here with what is going on in kind of this future with autonomous vehicles.
So why are they doing the Model Ys versus CyberCab and also in Vegas? So I started automatically, I thought about the Boring Company with the loop that's already there in Vegas right now.
So right now it's only a two and a quarter mile connector that kind of meets up at the surface of the road right before you get to Harry Reid Airport.
The long term plan over the next couple of years is to expand this to over 60 plus miles, get to multiples of hotels out of the strip.
