- Tesla has released a video of a new Model Y driving from the Giga Texas factory to an owner’s home in Austin.
- The total route seems to be around 15 miles; possibly a bit more, from the video.
- The new feature comes about a week after Tesla’s Robotaxi service also began in Austin.
First came the Robotaxis, now come the Teslas themselves—straight to a new owner’s apartment in Austin, without anyone behind the wheel.
A week after debuting its autonomous taxi service in the Texas capital, Tesla has released a video purportedly showing the fully automated home delivery of a new Model Y. CEO Elon Musk had been promising this feature for some time, and on Friday, the automaker seemingly made good on it for at least one new owner.
Tesla released two videos of the drive between the Giga Texas factory near the Austin airport and the owner’s apartment complex off South Lamar Boulevard. One is a sped-up version, while the other is the full-length one. A direct drive between the two locations covers about 15 miles and takes roughly 30 minutes.
This Model Y takes a more roundabout way to get there, cruising down Interstate 35 (and staying below 70 mph) before exiting onto Woodward Street and driving through South Congress Avenue—the same area where its Robotaxis have been running for several days.
This is a breaking news story. It will be updated.
