Tesla says the first customer-owned cars could join its robotaxi network around Q2 2027. The company had promised 1 million robotaxis by 2020, but that target never arrived.
The autonomous Cybercab and regular Model Y will use the same software, planned for the V15 release. Owners will also need to place cars inside geofenced areas and Tesla’s fleet-management system. Without that setup, full autonomy is unavailable.
Tesla currently has several hundred robotaxis in Texas and Florida, with human monitors still present in some, plus several dozen fully driverless Cybercabs in Austin. The 2027 date will test Tesla’s timelines.
