Musk said in a social media post this week that Tesla’s long-awaited robotaxi service will roll onto the streets of Austin, Texas on June 22. The Tesla CEO is betting the company’s future on autonomous vehicles (AV) and a robotaxi service – which will hopefully inject much-needed cash just as the company’s sales and profits are slumping.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a post on X on Tuesday that the first self-driving Tesla will reach a customer's house on June 28.

TESLA already had a lot riding on its highly anticipated robotaxi launch long before Elon Musk decided to swing a wrecking ball through his alliance with US President Donald Trump – and the company’s share price.
