Elon Musk Promised 1,000 Texas Robotaxis Last Year. It’s Nowhere Near That

  • Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Texas has fewer than 50 self-driving cabs, one year after its debut.
  • In 2025, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed the service would start slowly, but that it would have 1,000 cars within a month.
  • By comparison, Waymo, the largest robotaxi operator in the U.S., has over 550 vehicles offering rides in Texas.

Tesla has 42 self-driving cars offering rides in the state of Texas, according to registration information submitted by the American automaker to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles under new rules that went into effect yesterday.
