6.0
Tesla is recruiting factory workers and sales staff to serve as AI operators for its Robotaxi ride-hailing service, offering extra hours, pay of roughly $25–$30 per hour, and $500 referral bonuses in recent California postings. The company has registered 1,655 vehicles and 798 drivers in California and is expanding Bay Area operations after the Robotaxi app's September rollout, amid reported wait-time issues.
