YES if, by Dec 31, 2025, 11:59 PM PT, Tesla operates an on-demand ride service in California that completes ≥1 public trip in 2025 with no human on board (remote assistance allowed if off-board).

NO if only announcements/demos, employee/VIP or invite-only rides, any safety driver in the car, closed pilots with no public sign-up, permits without trips, or service starts in 2026+.

Sources (order): Tesla official comms/app; CPUC/DMV permit listings; credible press. If conflicting, require evidence of a completed public trip.

Early resolution: Resolve YES upon first qualifying trip; later suspension doesn’t change outcome.
