## Resource

Teslas Robotaxi service is expanding, with plans for Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas. Paid Robotaxi miles doubled in Q1 2026, but revenue growth is slowing. Operating margins dipped, and the market cap outpaces actual earnings. Cybercab production is starting, but Optimus bots are still months away. The recent stock surge added hundreds of billions in value, setting a high bar for future performance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
