Tesla Robotaxi Goes 24/7 in Every City It Serves

Tesla says Robotaxi now runs 24/7 in every city it serves, closing the overnight gap and reaching its round-the-clock goal ahead of year-end.

Tesla’s Robotaxi service now operates around the clock in every city where it is available, removing the overnight shutdown that had kept riders from booking trips at any hour.

“Robotaxi now runs 24/7,” the company’s official account announced Wednesday night, November 11, adding: “Every city we’re available in.”

The change closes the three-hour gap seen in recent app screenshots showing a 5 AM to 2 AM schedule, including in Dallas. Those screenshots established a 21-hour window in the locations shown, rather than a network-wide schedule. Tesla’s latest announcement explicitly applies the new round-the-clock hours to all its available cities.

For riders, that makes Robotaxi an option for overnight shifts, late nights out and early-morning journeys that previously fell outside operating hours. Availability still depends on whether the pickup and destination fall within the service area and a vehicle is available, so checking the app remains the practical first step.

Tesla has been extending the day in stages. In late October, it announced a 6 AM to 2 AM operating window, alongside trip sharing, a rear-view camera feed and Calm Mode. The subsequent 5 AM starts added another hour before this move to continuous service.

The milestone also arrives ahead of the company’s year-end target. During Tesla’s October earnings call, AI software chief Ashok Elluswamy said it planned to unlock 24/7 Robotaxi operation before the end of 2026. Wednesday’s announcement confirms the hours expansion, but does not announce new highway access, service boundaries or additional cities.

Tesla’s geographic rollout has continued alongside the longer hours. It recently announced Robotaxi service in San Antonio, following Fort Worth and adding to its Texas presence in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

Would round-the-clock rides make you more likely to use Tesla Robotaxi?
