Tesla Signals Robotaxi Expansion With New Website

Tesla has quietly rolled out an updated Robotaxi website, offering the clearest public signal yet that its autonomous ride-hailing ambitions are accelerating beyond the company’s initial pilots in Austin, Texas, and the Bay Area. While a Robotaxi landing page has existed since Tesla launched its early service in Austin earlier this year, the refreshed site adds new details, visuals, and messaging that point toward broader expansion in the near future.

“We’re bringing autonomous rides to you today—starting with Model Y. Autonomous Robotaxi rides are currently being offered in Austin, Texas. To get started, download the Robotaxi app,” the updated website reads. “Cybercab, our purpose-built fully autonomous vehicle, will offer rides in your area in the future.”

Tesla’s Cybercab is slated to enter mass production in April 2026. Once it starts rolling out in volume, Tesla is banking on Cybercab to help scale the Robotaxi service quickly and exponentially.

One notable addition to the site is a new video highlighting accessibility. Tesla says its Robotaxi vehicles are “designed to support various accessibility needs including space for service animals and room to store some wheelchairs and other assistive devices.” The company also noted that the Tesla app already supports 29 languages, with more on the way, underscoring its intention to make Robotaxi a globally usable service over time.

The website refresh arrives as Tesla continues to ramp up real-world Robotaxi operations in Austin. Musk recently said the Austin fleet is set to double this month, and during Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting last month, he confirmed that Robotaxi service is coming to Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, and Las Vegas next. The timing also lines up with Tesla beginning “unsupervised” Robotaxi testing in Austin, with no drivers or safety monitors onboard, and employees recently sharing footage from fully autonomous rides.

Alongside the website update, Tesla has also introduced cleaning fees for Robotaxi riders who leave a mess behind. “We prioritize maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for all riders and promoting responsible rider behavior,” the company said.

Under the new policy, moderate messes such as food spills or significant dirt can result in a $50 fee, while severe messes like biowaste or smoking in the vehicle may incur a $150 charge. Tesla says riders will be notified by email if a fee is assessed, with an updated receipt available in the Robotaxi app, and disputes can be initiated through customer support.

Taken together, the refreshed website, expanding fleet, and new rider policies suggest Tesla is laying the groundwork for a much wider Robotaxi rollout in 2026.
