Tesla robotaxi and Cybercab city tracker

What is public, and what is not

Robotaxi coverage attracts unofficial dashboards that count VINs, camera sightings and rider logs. Those feeds move faster than regulators and can disagree with one another by hundreds of cars on the same day. This page does not copy those tallies. It records what a named newsroom, Tesla, or a US safety agency has put in writing, and it labels city status as operating, miles disclosed, or “coming soon” only when Tesla’s own page uses that phrase.

The first Cybercab public rides Tesla announced were in limited areas of Austin, Texas, on 3 September 2026. Reuters reported the same day that Texas records showed 45 Cybercab vehicles among a larger autonomous-vehicle count, that the two-seater has no steering wheel or pedals, and that federal rules still cap sales of vehicles without those controls. Reuters also noted NHTSA saying it was evaluating the effort. That is the start-of-service mark this tracker uses for purpose-built Cybercab, as distinct from supervised or unsupervised Model Y robotaxi miles that began earlier in 2026.

Cities Tesla has quantified

Tesla later published a Robotaxi Safety Report covering unsupervised miles from 22 January through 18 October 2026. Reporting on that page said the fleet drove 3.1 million unsupervised miles in the window, with no robotaxi airbag deployments and no injuries in crashes where a robotaxi made first contact, as Tesla defined those terms. Austin accounted for 2,118,015 of the miles. Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Tampa and Miami were also given mile totals on that page (608,130; 225,964; 61,053; 53,117; 46,262). Tesla listed Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix and San Antonio as coming soon, without launch dates.

Those mile figures describe where unsupervised driving has already been logged. They are not the same as a city-by-city Cybercab count, and they are not a promise that paid robotaxi service is open to the public in every named city. Austin is the city with both a Reuters-reported Cybercab launch and the largest mile total. The other cities should be read as “miles disclosed” until Tesla or a primary regulator says service is open.

NHTSA opened an Audit Query into Tesla’s self-certification that Cybercab meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards after the Austin deployment. The agency said it would examine the technical basis for certifying a vehicle without traditional human controls. An open audit is not a finding. It is a reason to keep this page conservative: city status here will not jump to “nationwide” on a social-media clip.

How we will refresh the table

When Tesla updates the safety-report mile table, replace the city rows and the period-end date. When Reuters, an AP member, or an agency press release names a new city for paid service, add a row with that date and URL. When only a third-party tracker moves, leave the official row unchanged and, at most, note that unofficial counts exist. Fleet size, utilization and revenue per mile stay blank unless Tesla prints them.

Supervised versus unsupervised still matters for investors reading FSD and robotaxi commentary side by side. A supervisor in the seat is a different product, cost and regulatory object from a Cybercab with no controls. This tracker keeps those labels in the city notes rather than collapsing them into a single “robotaxi is live” badge.
