Tesla has some numbers to tout for its progress on Robotaxi.
CEO Elon Musk and other executives said during Tesla’s second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday that the company continues to expand its autonomous ride-hailing platform, adding more cities and more unsupervised rides.
Since Tesla first launched Robotaxi in June 2025 with a small fleet of Model Ys and safety monitors, the rollout of the company’s ride-hailing service has been slower than Musk’s predictions.
The CEO said in July 2025 that Tesla could reach half the US population by the end of 2025, pending regulatory approval.
Tesla now lists seven US metropolitan regions, including two Florida cities — Orlando and Tampa — announced on the eve of the company’s Q2 earnings call.
The company has yet to disclose the size of its overall fleet, number of paid rides, intervention rates, or the economics of each trip.
Musk said during the earnings call that safety is central to the constraints on Robotaxi’s deployment scale.
“If we injure even one person, it will be worldwide headline news, and regulators will immediately clamp down on our activities,” he said. “We’re going as fast as humanly possible in scaling Robotaxi, but while trying to ensure that we do not harm anyone at all and ideally do not even run over a pet.”
Here are seven numbers that demonstrate Tesla’s Robotaxi progress:
1. Nearly 2.5 million total paid miles
Tesla said in its shareholder deck that Robotaxi had reached nearly 2.5 million cumulative paid miles by the end of the second quarter.
The figure includes trips with a safety monitor — a human supervisor who oversees the autonomous software — in the car. In the San Francisco Bay Area, a safety monitor remains behind the wheel.
2. More than 380,000 unsupervised miles
Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s VP of AI, said Robotaxi has driven more than 380,000 unsupervised miles across six cities in two different states.
This is one of the more concrete figures Tesla has provided around its progress for unsupervised rides. Tesla has yet to reveal how many cars are operating without a safety monitor.
For comparison, Alphabet’s Waymo has driven more than 200 million fully autonomous, rider-only miles.
3. More than 10% weekly mileage growth
Musk said Robotaxi has seen a growth rate of more than 10% for miles driven per week.
Similarly, Elluswamy said unsupervised mileage has increased at “double-digit growth rates” per week since the beginning of the year.
“We expect to continue growing at such a large rate through the rest of this year,” Elluswamy said.
4. Seven US metropolitan regions
Tesla said Robotaxi is now active in seven US markets: Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
All regions except for the Bay Area are “ramping unsupervised” rides, the company said in the shareholder deck.
Tesla is also targeting Phoenix and Las Vegas, with “preparations underway.”
Meanwhile, Waymo operates in 11 US regions.
5. Zero ‘notable incidents’ from Robotaxi
Elluswamy said that there have been “zero notable incidents” over the more than 380,000 unsupervised Robotaxi miles driven. He added that the known incidents involved other road users hitting stationary Teslas.
Tesla has reported crashes to federal regulators, including two low-speed crashes that occurred after Tesla’s teleoperator assumed direct control of the car. Both incidents had a safety monitor behind the wheel.
Elluswamy said the progress was a “huge validation of Tesla’s entire AI approach.”
6. More than 125,000 Cybercabs in manufacturing capacity
Tesla said it installed an annual manufacturing capacity of more than 125,000 Cybercabs — the company’s purpose-built robotaxi — at Gigafactory Texas. Production began during the second quarter.
For comparison, Zoox, Amazon’s robotaxi venture, says its factory in Hayward, California can assemble more than 10,000 purpose-built robotaxis a year once it operates at full scale. Waymo has said that its Arizona plant can build “tens of thousands” of robotaxis at full buildout.
Tesla’s number does not represent the current production rate, which was not disclosed.
Musk said the Cybercab needs to accumulate more driving data specific to its chassis before the company can put more on the road.
Employees have started taking autonomous rides in the car at Gigafactory, Tesla said.
7. Nearly 1.5 million paid FSD customers
Tesla reported 1.48 million paying customers of Full Self-Driving, the automaker’s advanced driver-assistance system. That represents a 56% year-over-year increase.
While FSD for personally owned vehicles requires constant human supervision, one of Tesla’s long-standing promises is that the tech will no longer require driver monitoring.
