    Tesla’s robotaxi service appears slated to kick off as scheduled, at least according to Elon Musk. On Tuesday, the CEO shared on X that the launch is “tentatively” slated for June 22 in Austin, Texas. 

    “We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift,” Musk noted. He added that the first self-driving trip from the Tesla factory to a customer’s house is scheduled for June 28.

    On Tuesday, Musk also reposted a video of a Tesla Model Y driving without anyone behind the wheel in Austin. The short clip shows the vehicle at an intersection, waiting for pedestrians to cross the road before making a left turn. 

    In October, Tesla unveiled a custom-built robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals, which dubbed the Cybercab. Musk said the car would cost “below $30,000,” and production would kick off “before 2027.” He also said the process of rolling out fully autonomous, unsupervised driving would start in 2025 with the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y in Texas and California, before the robotaxi’s eventual rollout.

    Tesla’s purpose-built robotaxi, also called a Cybercab, is slated to begin production”before 2027,” according to Elon Musk.

    In the following months, Musk maintained that Tesla’s robotaxi service would debut in June in Austin. It began testing the service with Tesla employees in the San Francisco Bay Area with a safety driver on board. In May, Musk posted on X that “for the past several days, Tesla has been testing self-driving Model Y cars (no one in driver’s seat) on Austin public streets with no incidents.”

    The robotaxi service in Austin will reportedly start small, with about 10 to 20 vehicles, and the initial operation zone will only be a few square miles, according to Bloomberg. Texas’ minimal rules surrounding driverless vehicles can make it an alluring location to launch a robotaxi service. 

    If Tesla’s robotaxi service does kick off this month in Austin, it’ll share the city’s roads with other self-driving companies like Waymo and Zoox. Alphabet-owned Waymo operates driverless rides there through a partnership with Uber, while Amazon-owned Zoox’s test fleet is also roaming the city.
