Tesla Names Next Robotaxi Cities, Shares Miles Driven & Safety Data
Not a Tesla App ^ | October 21, 2026 | Nehal Malik

The data covers January 22 through October 18, 2026, and includes both retrofitted Model Y robotaxis and purpose-built Cybercabs. Tesla now has more than 300 Cybercabs in Austin, with Dallas next in line. 

Tesla lists Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix, and San Antonio as coming soon. Phoenix and Las Vegas aren't surprises. Tesla has been staging for a Robotaxi launch in Phoenix for months, and Las Vegas has been on the roadmap since early this year. Jacksonville and San Antonio are new additions... 

Update: On the Earnings Call, Tesla shared that it's launching Unsupervised Cybercab rides in Dallas, Texas next month. 

As of October 18, the Robotaxi fleet had driven 3.1 million miles autonomously, and the live counter on Tesla's site has already passed 3.3 million at the time of writing. A chart on the page shows those miles climbing sharply since the summer... 

Tesla offers Robotaxi service in seven U.S. markets, but the report only lists six. It leaves out the San Francisco Bay Area, where regulations require a safety driver behind the wheel, so rides there aren't fully autonomous. 

Tesla also says the fleet has logged 862,000 miles after dark, 113,000 miles in the rain, and 575,000 miles during rush hour. 

Tesla's safety numbers are all zeroes: no people injured by a Robotaxi, no airbag deployments, and no pedestrians or cyclists hit... 

The page also notes that each vehicle's neural network processes over a million pixels of visual data every millisecond, using a 360-degree camera view. 

The report comes as NHTSA reviews claims that Robotaxis sped through active school zones. None of those incidents involved a collision or injury.

If you mean as to hired rides, I believe they will be cheaper than Uber or taxis for the reasons you stated.

I was listening to CNBC today and they were talking about the fact that Uber is under tremendous pressure because of Tesla and Waymo, which is a Google product.
So I guess Tesla’s taxi is going to be a big hit because Uber is going to struggle with stock pricing
