Tesla has officially received approval for its full Autonomous Vehicle Network Company permit in Nevada, according to Sawyer Merritt on X. The approval opens the path for Tesla to operate a paid public Robotaxi service in Las Vegas and deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis over the coming period.

The permit represents a significant regulatory milestone for Tesla's autonomous vehicle ambitions. Nevada's approval provides the legal framework needed to operate a commercial robotaxi network within the state, moving beyond the limited, unpaid testing operations Tesla has conducted elsewhere.
