Tesla Robotaxi Quarterly Data Drop: Not Tech Issues, but Unclear Production Integration Costs

Tesla reported a quarter-over-quarter decline in paid Robotaxi mileage for Q2. From my perspective doing production line automation integration, this isn't algorithmic regression; it's the hardware system exposing a "cycle time mismatch" problem in real-world operational scenarios. Simply put, Tesla tried to run L4-level operations with consumer car manufacturing logic, and got stuck on deployment density, charging scheduling, and maintenance response.
