Tesla Robotaxi hits the San Francisco Bay Area
The future of transportation just pulled up & it’s electric! Tesla’s Robotaxi service has officially launched in the SF Bay Area, offering an awesome way to zip around from San Francisco to San Jose and beyond. You can download the Tesla Robotaxi app now and get ready to experience the next big thing. Here’s everything you need to know to join the ride!
What is Tesla Robotaxi?
Tesla’s Robotaxi service is bringing its game-changing tech to the Bay Area with Model Y vehicles powered by Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology. Launched on July 30, 2025, this invite-only service currently operates with a safety driver to meet California’s regulations, but it’s a first step toward fully autonomous rides. Covering a huge area (from Sausalito to San Jose) and including Berkeley, Fremont, and the East Bay, the service lets you explore the Bay Area in style.
How to Get Started
Want to be part of the Robotaxi revolution? Here’s what you need to do:
Get the App: Search “Tesla Robotaxi” in the iOS App Store or Google Play Store and download it to your phone. You’ll need a Tesla account to log in, so set one up if you haven’t already.
Look for Your Invite: Right now, Tesla Robotaxi is invite-only, rolling out to select Tesla owners, employees + their friends and family. Check your email or Tesla app for an invitation or sign up at tesla.com/robotaxi to get notified when more spots open up.
Book a Ride: Once you’re in, book your ride through the app, confirm the vehicle’s license plate & hop in. You can tweak the climate, adjust seats or even stream your favorite tunes via the app or the car’s touchscreen.
Affordable Fares: Pricing is competitive with other Bay Area options. Check the app for real-time fare estimates when you book.
Why Get Excited About Tesla Robotaxi?
Tesla Robotaxi is a glimpse into the future of mobility. With eco-friendly electric vehicles and cutting-edge AI, Tesla is paving the way for smarter, greener transportation in the Bay Area. The massive service area means you can go almost anywhere, from Oracle Park to Fox Theater or Silicon Valley’s tech hubs. While safety drivers are part of the experience for now, Tesla’s working hard to bring fully autonomous rides to California.
Tesla’s just warming up. As the company collects data and works with California regulators, we’re expecting more invites and eventually, fully driverless rides. Get on the waitlist now and maybe you can cruise up to San Francisco Halloween in a sweet ride.
