On June 22, 2025, Tesla took a bold step forward—opening its highly anticipated robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. This launch marks the first time Tesla fleet vehicles, operating with no one behind the wheel, have offered rides to paying customers. It may be small-scale and cautious, but the implications are massive.
👥 Who’s Riding?
The service began with a select group of users—Tesla investors, social-media influencers, and early-access participants invited via email. Rumors suggest between 10 and 20 Model Y robotaxis joined the pilot pilot program. Riders hailed spots through Tesla’s Robotaxi App and could take rides anywhere in a geofenced area across central Austin, excluding the airport. Operating hours run from 6 AM to midnight—weather permitting—and customers can bring one guest per ride.
