Would You Hail a ‘Robotaxi’? Musk Bets Cabs Will Give Tesla a Lift After Boycotts and Sales Plunge

  • Tesla plans to launch its Robotaxi service on Sunday, June 22, 2025, with driverless Model Y vehicles operating in Austin, Texas's downtown area.
  • This debut follows years of Elon Musk's unfulfilled promises since 2019 and comes amid regulatory scrutiny, safety concerns, and calls from Texas lawmakers to delay the rollout.
  • The initial deployment will include about 10 to 12 cars in a geofenced area, available to invitation-only early access users from 6:00 am to midnight, with safety operators onboard.
  • Wedbush’s Daniel Ives suggested that advancements in autonomous technology might add more than $1 trillion in market value, while Elon Musk described Sunday as the beginning of Tesla’s 'golden era of autonomy,' noting that the number of autonomous vehicles could grow to around 1,000 within a few months.
  • The Austin launch marks a cautious first step toward Musk's vision of a large-scale robotaxi fleet, with expansion contingent on success despite skepticism and ongoing safety investigations.
