At a glance
Tesla Robotaxi is booked through a dedicated rider app. Tesla lists limited service areas in Texas and Florida. Buying a Tesla with FSD (Supervised) does not give your personal vehicle the same driverless operating permission.
Where is Tesla Robotaxi available?
These are limited service areas, not whole-city guarantees. Operating hours and vehicle supply vary. Tesla’s main Robotaxi support page provides the broader city list; its separate Cybercab FAQ describes Cybercab access specifically in limited areas of Austin. Do not infer Cybercab availability in every Robotaxi city.
| State | Cities listed by Tesla | Access check |
|---|---|---|
| Texas | Austin, Dallas and Houston | Enter both trip endpoints in the Robotaxi app. |
| Florida | Miami, Orlando and Tampa | Check the displayed service area and booking availability. |
How to request a Tesla Robotaxi
A request is for a ride, not a guaranteed particular vehicle. Allow time to reach the assigned pickup. For luggage, children or mobility equipment, check the rules for the vehicle you are assigned.
- Download the official Robotaxi app for iOS or Android and sign in with a Tesla Account.
- Enter your destination and inspect the service map, estimated fare and wait.
- Confirm only after checking that the trip and assigned vehicle fit your group.
- At pickup, match the license plate to the app, board and fasten your seat belt.
- Use the app or vehicle screen to start the ride and locate the support controls.
Model Y and Cybercab are different ride experiences
Tesla’s rider guidance gives different minimum passenger ages for the two vehicles. Check those rules before traveling with a child; do not assume a car seat or an empty seat establishes eligibility. The app assigns vehicles based on availability and the group.
| Vehicle | Useful distinction | Check before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Model Y Robotaxi | Uses a familiar SUV platform in the service fleet | Passenger seating, baggage fit and vehicle-specific rider rules. |
| Cybercab | Purpose-built two-seat vehicle without a steering wheel | Availability in your area and capacity for your group. |
What does a Tesla Robotaxi ride cost?
Use the price estimate in the Robotaxi app. Tesla says the quote is shown before confirmation and pricing can change. A launch promotion, reported sample fare or Cybercab purchase-price claim does not establish what your trip will cost.
Compare the same route at the same time with another service. Include taxes and fees, wait time, the pickup walk and the possibility of needing a different vehicle. Keep a backup option for a flight, appointment or other time-sensitive journey.
Robotaxi is separate from consumer FSD
FSD (Supervised) in a personally owned Tesla requires an attentive driver. It is assistance, even when it follows a navigation route. A driverless Robotaxi ride is a service operating under its own conditions. Neither the Tesla name nor a shared vehicle shape makes the two interchangeable.
Common questions
Can I choose a Cybercab?
Tesla says vehicle assignment depends on availability and group size. Do not book on the assumption that every trip will be in a Cybercab.
Can a privately owned Tesla drive me without supervision?
Consumer FSD (Supervised) requires continuous driver attention. Robotaxi service availability does not change the operating rules for a personal Tesla.
