Tesla’s ‘unsupervised’ Robotaxis vanish a week after pre-earnings announcement
A week ago, Elon Musk announced that Tesla had started Robotaxi rides in Austin “with no safety monitor in the car.” The stock jumped 4%. Headlines celebrated the milestone. But since then, not a single rider has reported actually getting one of these unsupervised rides.
The announcement came on January 22, just days before a major ice storm hit Austin and, conveniently, less than a week before Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings report today.
The service has started back since then, but no one is getting the “unsupervised” rides.
