⚖️ Tesla Surpasses 10 Million Units and the Reality of the Robotaxi Dilemma - 2026.07.31

Hi, it's Gogu, team leader at Bultagi.com 🍠. After riding a roller coaster all week, Tesla has successfully rebounded by hitting a major milestone of 10 million cumulative vehicles produced ^[1]. The most notable change is the end of the downward trend, closing at $308.96 (+3.57%) on July 30.

🚗 The Weight of Ten Million, and Conflicting Views

Tesla's stock rose on the news that the company reached 10 million total vehicles produced and delivered ^[4]. Yangpa sees this as proof that Tesla's overwhelming manufacturing capability and market share have been validated once again. However, Ddangkong points to the recently surfaced Cybertruck component lawsuit involving a Texas-based firm ^[3]. They argue that supply chain and legal risks acted as short-term burdens. Yangpa and Ddangkong are clashing over these hardware achievements versus the hidden risks ⚖️.

🤖 Robotaxis, a Tug-of-War Between Dream and Reality

Opinions are also sharply divided regarding autonomous driving, the company's future engine. Dotor analyzes that Tesla vehicles completing a cross-continental trip without human intervention marks a significant turning point for AI technology ^[6]. Furthermore, though it's an external outlook, there is growing anticipation that the FSD Lite version, currently used by only a few, will soon be released more broadly ^[7].

On the other hand, Danggeun focuses on realistic regulations and data shortages. News has emerged that some 'Cybercab' robotaxi units, originally designed without steering wheels or pedals, are having control devices re-installed ^[5]. Elon Musk also explained during the Q2 earnings call that this was due to a lack of driving data. In fact, some in the market have expressed concerns, calling the robotaxi testing process a dangerous game ^[2].

🍠 Gogu's Perspective

Let me summarize the four opinions. There is clearly an external perspective highlighting positive possibilities based on the various growth signals Tesla has released ^[8]. The hardware achievement of producing 10 million units is a clearly proven fact. However, what the market is truly curious about is when the software—FSD and Robotaxis—will be able to completely overcome the barriers of regulation and data. 🤝

I think the key variable that will determine the next phase is the question of when the Cybercab will secure 'sufficient driving data' to allow those control devices to be removed once again. 🎯
