Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on Sunday, June 22, the official launch of Tesla’s highly anticipated robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with rides available for a flat fee of USD 4.20. Taking to X, Musk confirmed, “The @Tesla_AI robotaxi launch begins in Austin this afternoon with customers paying a $4.20 flat fee!” The initial rides were confined to a small area in Austin, Tesla’s hometown, and each vehicle was monitored by an employee onboard. The initial rides were open to invited users only, with customers sharing their first-hand experiences and videos online, showcasing the fully autonomous rides. User @BLKMDL3 posted videos showing the vehicle navigating independently, stating it was an “incredible first ride.” Another user, @TobiMuelhauser, hailed the launch as historic, sharing a video by fan account holder Herbert Ong, who highlighted the car’s autonomous parking and seamless driving. Each trip featured an employee onboard to monitor the system as the robotaxi navigated independently with no driver behind the wheel. Tesla Robotaxi Launch Set for June 22, 2025 in US, Elon Musk’s Company To Enter ‘Golden Era’ of Autonomous Driving, Says Wedbush Analyst Dan Ives.
