Tesla Targets Q2 2027 for Customer Integration into Robotaxi Fleet
During its third-quarter earnings call, Tesla VP for Autonomous Driving Ashok Elluswamy announced a target of Q2 2027 to allow customers to opt their vehicles, such as the Model Y, into the company's robotaxi network. This initiative aims to enable owners to earn passive income by participating in an autonomous ride-hailing fleet, similar to models used by Uber or Airbnb. While Tesla reported a significant increase in Full Self-Driving (FSD) adoption—with over 75% of new North American buyers selecting the feature—the company faces skepticism due to a history of missed deadlines regarding autonomy. Additionally, the rollout faces substantial headwinds from regulatory requirements for unsupervised ride-hailing and potential insurance complexities.
