The unfolding fallout between Elon Musk and the Trump administration over the past month hasn’t stopped Musk’s companies from breaking new ground in their industries. Tesla’s newly launched service may change transportation as we know it.
Following years of delays and hype from Elon Musk, Tesla launched the long-awaited, fully autonomous Cybercab in Austin, Texas, on Sunday. The service uses brand-new Tesla Model Y cars with no add-ons, meaning that all Model Y Teslas are capable of fully autonomous driving.

Musk shared his excitement about the announcement on X, calling this achievement a “culmination of a decade of hard work.”
On top of being fully autonomous, Robotaxi also “automatically syncs your media & streaming settings before picking you up.”
Tesla invited a small group of users to test out the new service in the capital city for a flat fee of $4.20, Business Insider reported.
Tesla’s X page reposted several users’ first experiences with the fully autonomous ride service. Many of them reported that the ride was smooth and enjoyable. One user posted a screen recording of his attempt to leave a tip, which was met with a humorous error message.
While this service is currently only available in Austin, Texas, following the soft launch, Tesla has created a new portal for users to receive updates about Cybercab coming to their area in the future.
