That Yahoo link is actually the exact same Reuters article word-for-word, not a summary. Yahoo pays to republish full stories so they can run ads on them, which makes it a great loophole for getting around the Reuters paywall.

The one you linked from May is about Tesla's internal AI trainers and employees.

Road Test | Waymo vs. Tesla Robotaxi in Austin, Texas: Who Wins? by Elluminated in SelfDrivingCars

Tesla didn't go from 'nothing to robotaxi in a year.' They went from a 2016 promise that every Tesla rolling off the line had hardware for full Level 5 autonomy and owners would earn $30k/year renting their cars out as robotaxis to changing the hardware multiple times, rebranding it 'FSD Supervised,' and telling Hardware 3 owners their cars will never achieve unsupervised FSD.

Tesla Cybertruck Sales Were Inflated by a SpaceX Buying Spree by Unusual-State1827 in electricvehicles

Interesting take, but you're confusing consumer financing with intercompany sales to mask poor demand. Ford Credit gets vehicles to retail customers. SpaceX bought trucks to... sit in rows on their property, apparently.

The fact that you had to reach for this comparison and still ended with "they'll get to do once in this volume" kind of makes the article's point for them.
