Tesla is actively expanding its Robotaxi program, integrating customer vehicle deliveries with autonomous ride experiences to showcase their technological advancements and generate early interest in their upcoming driverless service.

Tesla is extending its vehicle warranty for 2026 models, offering seven years or 70,000 miles of coverage on key propulsion parts, excluding the Cybertruck, which may have different architecture or early production considerations.

The latest Tesla software update now integrates the 'Start FSD from Park' feature with 'PIN to Drive,' resolving previous compatibility issues and allowing users to activate FSD conveniently after entering their PIN.

Customers picking up their Tesla Model Y in Austin are invited to experience a Robotaxi ride to the factory, with scheduled rides at the end of September and limited availability.

This expansion includes a new public delivery center at Giga Texas, ongoing pilot programs in Austin and the Bay Area, and testing approvals in Nevada, signaling Tesla's broader push into autonomous ride-hailing.

The Austin-based Robotaxi initiative is moving towards fully driverless operations, with recent testing that appears to eliminate the need for a safety monitor, possibly utilizing FSD V14 technology.

Tesla is also exploring autonomous ride services at major Bay Area airports, indicating plans to extend Robotaxi operations to high-traffic transit hubs.
