Tesla Robotaxi spied ahead of its global reveal

The Tesla Robotaxi is scheduled to be unveiled on October 10, 2024

Tesla had previously announced that they were working on an autonomous Robotaxi.

Ahead of its global unveil sometime next month, the upcoming Robotaxi has been spotted testing for the first time. The Robotaxi prototype can be seen covered in heavy camouflage and even fitted with blocks behind the cabin to disguise its true shape. Reports state that the upcoming Tesla Robotaxi could feature Cybertruck-inspired styling, a full-width LED tail light, Scissor doors, and a minimalistic two-seater cabin with a large screen in the centre.*

Reports also state that the Robotaxi will be the first Tesla vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals. Instead, the vehicle will rely on a series of high-resolution cameras and the brand's FSD (Full Self-Driving) software to drive itself around.

Tesla is also reportedly working on its own ride-sharing app, which will operate a fleet of Robotaxis alongside regular Tesla cars, which will come fitted with FSD and driven without a human behind the steering wheel.

The Tesla Robotaxi will be underpinned by the brand's 'next-generation' platform, which could help reduce Tesla's manufacturing costs significantly.

The Tesla Robotaxi is scheduled to be unveiled on October 10, 2024 - a delay from its original unveil date of August 8, 2024.
