The first Tesla just drove itself from its factory straight to the customer

Indeed, the second teacher this week after the commercial publication of his service Robotaxi, represents an early birthday gift for CEO Elon Musk. The businessman promised to support Tesla on June 28, which he encounters when he is 54 years old.

“The first independent delivery of the Tesla model from the factory to a customer’s house throughout the city, including highways, was just completed a day before the specified date,” Mousse was published on Friday. “There were no people in the car at all and there are no remote operators controlling at any time. I am completely independent.”

Since this is not fully supervised by self -driving (FSD) in the first practical application ever for the brand, Tesla has downloaded a video as a guide. Documenting different angles about 30 minutes drive from Austin Factory to 1515 S. Lamar Blvd. The city center, where its new owner seized it.

Whether this delivery is just one time test or part of a wider plan for the renovation distribution is still unclear. Although it may save at least at least from the $ 1390 Tesla fee, it risks the scratching of the car or its transit – or even reaching the dirty customer, and it seems that it was through a rainstorm.

In addition, the Model Y’s Range Maxes is 357 official miles with real world tests that indicate a lower range. Unless he can drive from the Tesla Service Center to another, so that the employee can recharge it, the range will be limited to a radius in Texas.

Finally, it can make the regulations on the ground completely illegal as state governments are currently defining under the conditions that self -government vehicles can lead, if any, on their ways.

Useful timing, such as Tesla, is preparing to report a high -slope Q2 sales

In the case of Austin, for example, the city officials told luck They had no opinion on what Musk did.

A spokesman for the capital of Texas said: “Tesla made the city familiar with its structure in providing a completely independent vehicle,” said a spokesman for the capital of Texas. “Although the city does not have the power to organize these vehicles, we will continue to work with the company to make notes in the event of public safety problems.”

Independent birth also raised doubts about whether Tesla may mislead people in the belief that technology is more powerful than it is already. Some indicated the fact that the video was not installed, but was later downloaded.

In addition, the Robotaxi service that started operating in Austin on Sunday is still working only within certain hours, and does not lead to the airport, and it features a safety screen in the front passenger seat at all times.

Moreover, the timing is useful, as Musk tries to convert the focus on the investor towards offering Robotaxi technology and away from his stalled basic works of selling EVS.

This next week, Tesla is expected to publish global production and delivery numbers in the second quarter, which show a 14 % decrease in delivery operations to 383,000 vehicles, according to medium estimates designed by the company’s investor relations team.

Although some skeptics must remain unreliable regardless of the reason, doubts are partially rooted in the experience.

One of the reasons that make doubts remain

Nearly nine years ago, Tesla posted a similar show when she released the video “Paint It Black”. She claimed that the car was driving its car on its own and that the person was behind the steering wheel there was no even to monitor safety.

“The person in the driver’s seat is only for legal reasons,” he said in the video published in October 2016. “He does not do anything. The car is driving itself.”

no. Literally chose a random agent requesting a Y model in the Austin region. The car is exactly the same as all Y model that was produced at the Tesla Factory. Ashok Eluswamy (Aeluswamy) June 28, 2025

Tesla Ashok Eluswamy later witnessed the deposition of the right, and the footage was not supposed to be an accurate representation of technology. Since then, both the video and the blog have been fully released from Tesla, but thanks to YouTube archives and web archives that are still displayable.

There was another more modern example, as well. In October 2024, Musk showed the primary model robots that interact with human guests at an event without telling anyone that it was remotely by humans.

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment from luck.

But Elleuswamy, who ascended in the ranks of Tesla since he worked on the 2016 video, denied any deception with a self -delivery video on Friday.

“Literally chose a random customer requesting the Y model in the Austin region. The car is exactly the same as the Y.
