684 finished Waymo robotaxis sit on the Mesa factory lot, per aerial count
A monthly aerial survey of Waymo's Mesa, Arizona factory counts 953 Ojai robotaxis, 684 of them fully retrofitted and ready to ship, up from roughly 500 in early June. Against a fleet doing about 500,000 paid rides a week, that reserve moves the constraint on Waymo's one-million-a-week target from production to deployment. The tally comes from a Reddit watcher's photos rather than Waymo, and it includes 12 finished Hyundai IONIQ 5 units — the first sign of a second vehicle line in Mesa.

One factory lot with 684 finished Waymos on it holds more driverless capacity than Tesla has put on public roads, period.

Why this matters
- → Production bottleneck shifts from manufacturing to deployment for Waymo's million-ride-a-week goal
- → 684 finished units represent largest single fleet addition ever; second vehicle line emerging
Production meets deployment
