The TCP permit was applied in November 2024, but Tesla has not yet followed other necessary permits from CPUC or the California Ministry of Cars (DMV).

Currently, Tesla has a DMV permit to test autonomous vehicles with safety drivers. A DMV spokesman confirmed that Tesla has not applied for additional permits required for full independent operations. Tesla did not comment on the declaration or future requests.

Why do it matterTesla move to secure a permit to the Robotaxi service at a time when the company faces challenges in the basic electric car market.

Tesla was seen to obtain a TCP permit as a strategic axis to benefit from the horseback market, as the company deals with the decrease in EV sales. This decrease was highlighted by a significant decrease in California sales, as it reached the lowest level in four years, which some attribute to the actions of Musk CEO.

Despite these challenges, Tesla still focuses on seeing a full horseback fleet, although primary operations may involve human drivers.

The company’s plans to serve the Robotaxi in Austin by June were described as a “bullish” development by Tesla Bull Gary Black, which emphasized the importance of the planned launch.
