If that's the law, why did Tesla and every other company actually applied for and got the permit? Are you suggesting that you know better than their teams of lawyers?

You are misinformed. Tesla does not have a permit for every single "self driving" car they have on the road.

There are 10s of thousands of self driving Teslas on the road right now, in the hands of customers. You can buy one! You don't have to get a permit for them.

California Vehicle Code 38750 covers the testing of autonomous vehicles by the manufacturer. It does not cover the usage of those vehicles by customers.
