Tesla said its unsupervised Robotaxi service now runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in every city where it is available, ending the overnight pause that had limited hours, Not a Tesla App and TeslaNorth reported, quoting the official Robotaxi account: “Robotaxi now runs 24/7. Every city we’re available in.”
That covers eight unsupervised markets: Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio in Texas, and Miami, Orlando and Tampa in Florida, the reports said. Bay Area rides remain supervised, Not a Tesla App noted. TeslaNorth dated the post to Wednesday night, Nov. 11; Not a Tesla App displayed the same post as Nov. 12, a timing difference likely reflecting time zones, and both are attributed here. TeslaNorth said recent app screenshots had shown a 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. window, or 21 hours, including in Dallas, and that the new announcement applies round-the-clock hours to all available cities, without announcing new highway access, service boundaries or additional cities.
Not a Tesla App said Cybercab rides are still limited to Austin, with an expansion to Dallas expected this month, and that Tesla had been stretching hours since August (6 a.m. to 10 p.m., then 11 p.m., midnight, 2 a.m., and 5 a.m. starts). Elon Musk had described nighttime animal detection — “grey kittens on grey tarmac in the dark” — as a key remaining problem, the site reported. Tesla originally aimed to start 24/7 service in October alongside a fleet-wide rollout of FSD v15, and AI chief Ashok Elluswamy had said v15 would unlock round-the-clock operations, but that timeline slipped and Tesla has not said whether v15 is now running across the entire robotaxi fleet, according to Not a Tesla App. Customer cars, in the latest firmware coverage from Nov. 11, were still receiving FSD (Supervised) v14.3.13 on Hardware 4 and v14.3 Lite, distilled from the HW4 v14 stack, on Hardware 3. Availability still depends on the service area and a car being free, TeslaNorth noted.
