Waymo has been "scaling" down the Peninsula from SF for about 18 months now, and it's still not generally available.
Tesla can scale by simply adding vehicles.

Scale what? Tesla does not have and has never had a commercial self-driving taxi service.
Scaling by applying for expanded operational areas is how all deployments in California have to work, by law. Tesla avoids that by not operating robotaxi fleets in California and not submitting applications or mileage data for the vehicles they have there.

Between Elon having personally alienated voters in cities and Tesla's continued reliance on remote drivers, Tesla's ability to produce these vehicles seems low on the list of scaling constraints.
June 17, 2025: "Ride to more places in the Bay and LA. Starting today in SF, with new areas coming to LA later this week. Download the Waymo One app to see our new service areas."
