Elon Musk said Tesla plans to double the number of Robotaxis it’s operating in Austin after users of the service said they weren’t able to hail rides or experienced very long wait times. In response to one such complaint, Musk said on X that the Robotaxi fleet in Austin “should roughly double next month.” While Musk didn’t disclose exactly how many Robotaxis Tesla is operating in the city, user reports indicate there are a few dozen vehicles active in Austin and about 100 in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s far fewer vehicles than are operated by autonomous ride-hailing rival Waymo, which is also available in more cities. Tesla is currently operating its Robotaxi vehicles with backup operators in both of its cities, though Musk previously said Tesla is aiming to remove humans from vehicles in Austin by the end of this year. Tesla has consistently walked back its Robotaxi targets this year. On an earnings call in July, Musk said Robotaxi would reach half the U.S. population by the end of 2025. He then reduced that target to eight to 10 U.S. cities three months later. It’s unclear whether Tesla will be able to meet that goal within the next month as the company still faces regulatory hurdles in several places where it’s aiming to launch. #Auto Future thecooldown.com/green-bus..
