Tesla's Robotaxi service now runs from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., or 20 hours a day. Tesla's Robotaxi account announced the change on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026, Drive Tesla Canada reported. The post did not say which markets get the longer hours.

Napping on the way home
Teslarati showed the Model Y version of the quiet screen in a video posted by Spencer (@scotsrule08) on what looked like a night ride in Dallas. Tapping a crescent-moon icon leaves only "Arriving soon", the destination and "Tap display to exit quiet mode". The Pull Over, temperature, volume and Support buttons stay on screen.
Teslarati also noted that the turn signals now chime for only the first four blinks. Driverless Model Y rides have run in Dallas and Houston since April.
We covered the first sighting of the quiet screen and rear camera view in the Cybercab in our Oct. 26 story.
