Tesla CEO Elon Musk expects the company to launch its long-anticipated robotaxi service tentatively on June 22 in Austin, though he said that the date could shift because Tesla is being “super paranoid about safety.”
In a flurry of posts on X late Tuesday, Musk hyped up the launch as a vital step toward Tesla’s autonomous future. The first use of Tesla’s robotaxis will start with 10 to 20 Model Ys driving on public roads without a human behind the wheel, before expanding the size of the service based on how well the technology performs, Musk has said.
