Public Tesla Robotaxi & Cybercab progress — sourced, not spin
Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Tampa, Orlando (public commercial). SF Bay Area safety-driver/employee testing tracked separately. Tesla Q2 2026 claims 7 major metros — that figure includes Bay Area; this KPI still counts public commercial only. Official hours 6am–10pm, 7 days/week as of Aug 26 (ops window, not a new city). Dallas service area expanded Aug 29; Austin geofence community-reported ~9% larger Aug 31.
Cities with publicly announced unsupervised (no in-car safety monitor) commercial rides.
Active commercial estimate ~70–100 across live cities (midpoint charted as 85). Not an official Tesla total. Texas TxDMV-style registries show ~269 Robotaxi Model Ys authorized in Texas as of Aug 30, 2026 (was ~181 through Aug 8; +79 registered Aug 27) — registered capacity ≠ daily active. Official @robotaxi said the unsupervised fleet is 'a lot bigger' (Aug 26) without a vehicle count. Austin crowdsource reports ~30 simultaneous active rides on peak days (late Jul). Florida allocation is early/estimate. Confidence: estimate.
Purpose-built two-seater unveiled Oct 2024. Tesla Q2 2026: production began at Gigafactory Texas (reported annual manufacturing capacity >125k units — capacity, not current output); employee rides on GFTX campus in July; production-vehicle engineering tests on public roads. Starlink V5 integrated (Jul 2026). Accessibility demo (NFB) Jul 2026. Tesla scheduled an invite-only Cybercab launch event at GFTX for Sept 3, 2026 — event/celebration, not yet verified as mass paid public Robotaxi service with Cybercab.

Employee / safety-driver testing and limited service. Not counted as unsupervised public commercial in this tracker. Tesla Q2 2026 '7 major metros' figure includes this market.
Previously named in H1 2026 expansion guidance. Tesla Q2 2026 named Phoenix among next U.S. metros with preparations underway (testing, permitting, first-responder training) — not live. Late Jul 2026: multi-shift Robotaxi Fleet Support hiring in Phoenix (operations prep only). Early Aug 2026: Robotaxi Operations Manager roles listed for Phoenix (ops prep only). Charlotte / New Orleans / San Antonio are separate on-the-ground testing signals, not Q2 named next metros.
Previously named in H1 2026 expansion guidance. Tesla Q2 2026 named Las Vegas among next U.S. metros with preparations underway — not live. Aug 20 2026: Nevada Transportation Authority unanimously approved Tesla Robotaxi, LLC to operate up to 5,000 fully autonomous vehicles in Clark County during the first 12 months (paid passenger service subject to ODD/conditions). Permit is a ceiling, not a fleet: inspections, insurance, and rates must still be filed before vehicles may be placed in service; operations must commence within 120 days of permit issuance. Airport pickups need separate Clark County Department of Aviation authorization. Tesla Cybercab chief engineer Eric Early told the Authority 5,000 is a ceiling and ~2,500 in a year would be 'extremely happy.' Do not treat as public commercial / unsupervised live.
July 2026: Cybercabs and Texas-plated Model Ys spotted in a Charlotte-area lot; Tesla AI Safety Operator job posting for Charlotte. Not announced as public commercial service; not listed as live or as a named next metro in Tesla Q2 2026. Do not treat as unsupervised commercial rides.
July 2026: Model Y Robotaxi validation fleet spotted with Texas manufacturer plates and camera washers. Not announced as public commercial service; not unsupervised live. Do not treat as a live city KPI.
Jul–Aug 2026: Zoning commission recommended a private ~56-stall Robotaxi charging facility near Pearl; construction underway at that site as of Aug 8. Aug 20 2026: City Council did not approve or deny the Josephine depot zoning case (Z-2026-10700135 withdrawn before it was called). Separate/second private Robotaxi Supercharger site spotted near airport (Heimer Rd / Target area). Second validation vehicle lot found Aug 8; camera-washer Model Y Supercharger sightings and Cybercab street/lot sightings continue. Robotaxi Fleet Support / Operations Manager hiring. Still testing/prep only — not public commercial service; not unsupervised live. Do not treat as a live city KPI.
Production underway at GFTX (>125k/yr capacity claimed); Starlink V5 integrated; employee campus rides Jul 2026; Sept 3 Austin launch event scheduled; not mass paid Robotaxi service yet

No Zoox-style 2,500/yr production cap (FMVSS self-cert claim)
Community reporting of Lars Moravy confirming Cybercab is not limited by a temporary NHTSA exemption vehicle cap (unlike Zoox); narrative is FMVSS self-certification. Regulatory/context note only — not a mass paid public Robotaxi launch.
Cybercab launch event scheduled (Austin / GFTX)
Tesla scheduled an invite-only Cybercab launch event at Gigafactory Texas for Sept 3, 2026 (Robotaxi rider sweepstakes Aug 17–23; tesla.com: 'celebrating the launch of our Cybercab robotaxi').
