Tesla has set a Q2 2027 target to let owners opt their cars into its robotaxi network—a major promise, but one that comes with a history of missed deadlines and steep regulatory hurdles.

For years, Elon Musk has been making big promises to Tesla owners about unsupervised autonomous driving and the ability to add their own vehicles to the company’s robotaxi fleet. During today’s third-quarter earnings call, the company finally gave itself a deadline.
According to Tesla VP for Autonomous Driving Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla owners will be able to add their own vehicles to the company’s robotaxi fleet in the second quarter of 2027. Here’s his exact quote (emphasis ours):
Like I mentioned earlier, the software for Cybercabs and Model Y is the same. And pretty soon we’ll be able to release the same software as part of the V15 release to customers. The only additional requirement is to make sure that, for example, the customer Model Y can be part of the geofences and the fleet management that Tesla has for it to be fully autonomous. We suspect somewhere around Q2 next year is when we can turn on some of the first customer vehicles to be part of the robotaxi fleet.
