While Tesla maintains a presence in these new hubs, the current operational zones remain restricted in size. This pattern mirrors previous maneuvers in Dallas and Houston, where the company announced autonomous fleets ahead of first-quarter earnings but failed to achieve meaningful scale. Tesla continues to operate without a formal press department to clarify its deployment timelines.
CEO Elon Musk has frequently promised that robotaxis would cover half of the U.S. population by late 2025, though recent commentary from company leadership has been notably more cautious. A potential regulatory shift may accelerate these plans; the Department of Transportation recently proposed removing the mandate for physical brake pedals in autonomous vehicles. Such a change could provide the necessary legal pathway for Tesla to finally deploy its two-seater Cybercabs, which currently sit staged in various cities nationwide awaiting broader clearance.
