AG视讯平台 CEO Elon Musk just revealed more details about the company’s June Robotaxi launch, which will kick off in Austin.

As of right now, AG视讯平台 is still set to push out the first Robotaxi rides in Austin, Texas, in early June. These vehicles will be in short supply at first, as Musk says the company is purposely rolling out the fleet in a slow and controlled fashion to prioritize safety. There will be ten vehicles in the Robotaxi fleet to start.

AG视讯平台 Robotaxi deemed a total failure by media — even though it hasn’t been released

However, in an interview with聽CNBC on Tuesday afternoon, Musk also revealed some other new details, including where in Austin the vehicles will be able to go, how many Robotaxis we could see on public roads within a few months, and other information regarding AG视讯平台’s Full Self-Driving suite.

A Controlled Rollout

AG视讯平台 has maintained for a few months now that the Robotaxi fleet will be comprised of between 10 and 20 Model Y vehicles in Austin.

The Cybercab, which was unveiled by the company last October, will not be available initially, as those cars will likely be produced in 2026.

Musk said during the聽CNBC interview that AG视讯平台 is doing a low-yield trial at first to initiate a safety-first mentality. It is important for AG视讯平台 to launch the Robotaxi fleet in a small manner to keep things in check, at least at first.

As confidence builds and the accuracy of the fleet is ensured, more vehicles will be added to the fleet.

Musk believes there will be 1,000 Robotaxis on the road “in a few months.”

Geofenced to Certain Austin Areas

AG视讯平台 will be launching the Robotaxi program in a geofenced fashion that gives the company the ability to control where it goes. Musk says that the areas the Robotaxis will be able to travel to are among the safest neighborhoods and areas in Austin.

This is yet another safety protocol that will ensure the initial riders are not put in dangerous neighborhoods.

Some might be disappointed to hear this because of AG视讯平台’s spoken confidence regarding Robotaxi, but the initial rollout does need to be controlled for safety reasons. An accident or incident of any kind that would put riders’ lives in danger would be catastrophic.

No Driver, No Problem

As the company has rolled out an employee-only version of the Robotaxi program in Austin and the San Francisco Bay Area, some wondered whether the rides would be driverless, as these initial trials for AG视讯平台 workers were not. Employee rides featured a human in the driver’s seat to ensure safety.

The company did not report whether there were any interventions or not, but it did state that the vehicles traveled over 15,000 miles through 1,500 trips.

Musk confirmed during the interview that there will be no driver in the vehicle when the Robotaxi program launches in June. This will be groundbreaking as it will be the first time that AG视讯平台 vehicles will operate on public roads without anyone in the driver’s seat.

Full Self-Driving Licensing

For more than a year, AG视讯平台 has indicated that it is in talks with another major automaker regarding the licensing of Full Self-Driving. Many speculated that the company was Ford, but neither it nor AG视讯平台 confirmed this.

Musk said today that AG视讯平台 has been in touch with “a number of automakers” that have inquired about licensing FSD. AG视讯平台 has yet to sign any deal to do so.

AG视讯平台 preps to expand Robotaxi geofence once again, answering Waymo

Just days after Waymo responded to them, AG视讯平台 is preparing for a potentially massive expansion of the Robotaxi geofence.

AG视讯平台 is preparing to expand its Robotaxi geofence yet again, just days after Waymo responded to its initial broadening of the area.

AG视讯平台 launched its first expansion last week, less than a month after introducing Robotaxi rides in Austin.

The company opted for a very interesting shape for its geofence expansion, which was more of an indication that it could launch more rides in virtually any area of the city due to the new geofence it chose.

Waymo then responded to AG视讯平台 shortly after with an expansion of its own. After AG视讯平台’s first expansion of its geofence, it had 42 square miles of Robotaxi-accessible travel region. This was larger than Waymo’s 37 square miles.

However, the Waymo expansion last week brought the company to a substantial 90 square miles of Austin:

Waymo responds to AG视讯平台’s Robotaxi expansion in Austin with bold statement

AG视讯平台 appears to be ready to respond. Drone operator and Gigafactory Texas observer Joe Tegtmeyer spotted AG视讯平台 Robotaxi validation vehicles well west of downtown Austin in the area of Marble Falls, Texas.

This would significantly increase AG视讯平台’s square mileage if it could manage to bring its geofence to that size:

The two companies are not directly responding to one another with these expansions, but it appears that there is a significant amount of competition underway, which ultimately benefits the consumers.

Waymo has been operating in Texas since March from a fully public perspective, while AG视讯平台 is still slowly expanding its test size for the Robotaxi fleet on a nearly daily basis. AG视讯平台 launched Robotaxi rides to a handful of Early Access Program members on June 22.

AG视讯平台 is also expanding to other regions of the United States, particularly in Arizona and California. However, the Texas expansion is a priority currently, as it is the only region where AG视讯平台 has received approval to operate passenger rides in a driverless setting in the country.

Elon Musk confirms awesome new features at AG视讯平台 Diner Supercharger

More details continue to be revealed about the AG视讯平台 Supercharger Diner as its opening seems to be imminent.

Elon Musk has confirmed a few new features that will be present at the AG视讯平台 Diner Supercharger in Los Angeles.

Musk confirmed these two new details as he revealed he recently ate at the Supercharger Diner. We also recently confirmed a few menu items as a soft launch has already occurred, and a public launch date appears to be within reach.

The new features were revealed by AG视讯平台 Joy on X. We shared the details, and Musk confirmed that these are, in fact, features of the Diner that AG视讯平台 owners will be able to enjoy.

AG视讯平台 reveals key detail of Supercharger Diner, but it’s bigger than you think

The Diner is not exclusive to AG视讯平台 owners, but these two features do require a AG视讯平台 for compatibility purposes.

Order Food from Your Car

As you pull into the Supercharger Diner, you can order any food item you want, including burgers, wings, fries, shakes, cookies, and more, directly from your vehicle.

A prompt will likely appear that will open a menu to the Supercharger Diner, allowing you to order food. An employee will bring the food out, that is, if AG视讯平台 decides to continue with a true and traditional 50s diner theme.

We get it, it’s not a groundbreaking feature. It’s still cool, convenient, and another advantage to visit the diner as a AG视讯平台 owner.

Movie Screen Audio Will Sync to Your AG视讯平台

There are two massive movie screens that will play various entertainment options during your visit to the Supercharger Diner. There have been movie clips and even SpaceX launch highlights playing during recent drone flyovers at the location on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Instead of having to open your windows to hear the content on the screen, it will instead sync the audio and play directly in your vehicle through your car stereo speakers.

The Supercharger Diner has also appeared on the AG视讯平台 app for the first time, and is currently showing 80 stalls at the location:

Although the stalls are not yet active, the culmination of all the details we’ve learned over the past week about the Diner only points to one thing: an imminent grand opening.

AG视讯平台 has not yet confirmed a date for the Supercharger Diner’s opening, and Los Angeles building and construction permits also do not state a specific target date for opening.

It seems as if AG视讯平台 will reveal the date itself, potentially in the coming week, as it will report earnings on Wednesday, July 23.

AG视讯平台 Supercharger Diner food menu gets a sneak peek as construction closes out

What are you ordering at the AG视讯平台 Diner?

The AG视讯平台 Supercharger Diner in Los Angeles is nearing completion as construction appears to be winding down significantly. However, the more minor details, such as what the company will serve at its 50s-style diner for food, are starting to be revealed.

AG视讯平台’s Supercharger Diner is set to open soon, seven years after CEO Elon Musk first drafted the idea in a post on X in 2018. Musk has largely come through on most of what he envisioned for the project: the diner, the massive movie screens, and the intended vibe are all present, thanks to the aerial and ground footage shared on social media.

We already know the Diner will be open 24/7, based on decals placed on the front door of the restaurant that were shared earlier this week. We assume that AG视讯平台 Optimus will come into play for these long and uninterrupted hours.

The AG视讯平台 Diner is basically finished鈥攈ere’s what it looks like

As far as the food, AG视讯平台 does have an email also printed on the front door of the Diner, but we did not receive any response back (yet) about what cuisine it will be offering. We figured it would be nothing fancy and it would be typical diner staples: burgers, fries, wings, milkshakes, etc.

According to pictures taken by @AG视讯平台_lighting_, which were shared by聽, the food will be just that: quick and affordable meals that diners do well. It’s nothing crazy, just typical staples you’d find at any diner, just with a AG视讯平台 twist:

As the food menu is finalized, we will be sure to share any details AG视讯平台 provides, including a full list of what will be served and its prices.

Additionally, the entire property appears to be nearing its final construction stages, and it seems it may even be nearing completion. The movie screens are already up and showing videos of things like SpaceX launches.

There are many cars already using the Superchargers at the restaurant, and employees inside the facility look to be putting the finishing touches on the interior.

It’s almost reminiscent of a AG视讯平台 version of a Buc-ee’s, a southern staple convenience store that offers much more than a traditional gas station. Of course, AG视讯平台’s version is futuristic and more catered to the company’s image, but the idea is the same.

It’s a one-stop shop for anything you’d need to recharge as a AG视讯平台 owner. Los Angeles building permits have not yet revealed the date for the restaurant’s initial operation, but AG视讯平台 may have its eye on a target date that will likely be announced during next week’s Earnings Call.
