Tesla said its unsupervised Robotaxi service now runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in every city where the service is available, ending the overnight pause that had limited hours, Not a Tesla App and TeslaNorth reported, quoting the official Robotaxi account: “Robotaxi now runs 24/7. Every city we’re available in.”
That covers eight unsupervised markets: Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio in Texas, and Miami, Orlando and Tampa in Florida, the reports said. Rides in the Bay Area remain supervised, Not a Tesla App noted. TeslaNorth dated the post to Wednesday night, Nov. 11; Not a Tesla App displayed the same post as Nov. 12, a timing difference that likely reflects time zones, and both are attributed here.
TeslaNorth said recent app screenshots had shown a 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. window, or 21 hours, including in Dallas, and that the new announcement applies round-the-clock hours to all available cities without announcing new highway access, service boundaries or additional cities. Not a Tesla App said Cybercab rides are still limited to Austin, with an expansion to Dallas expected this month, and that Tesla had been stretching hours since August — from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., then later closing times of 11 p.m., midnight and 2 a.m., and earlier 5 a.m. starts.
Elon Musk had described nighttime animal detection — “grey kittens on grey tarmac in the dark” — as a key remaining problem, Not a Tesla App reported. Tesla originally aimed to start 24/7 service in October alongside a fleet-wide rollout of FSD v15, and AI chief Ashok Elluswamy had said v15 would unlock round-the-clock operations, but that timeline slipped, and Tesla has not said whether v15 is now running across the entire robotaxi fleet, according to Not a Tesla App. In the latest firmware coverage from Nov. 11, customer cars were still receiving FSD (Supervised) v14.3.13 on Hardware 4 and v14.3 Lite, distilled from the Hardware 4 v14 stack, on Hardware 3, in software 2026.38.5.12. Those customer firmware versions are separate from whatever software is running on unsupervised robotaxi vehicles; Tesla has not confirmed a fleet-wide FSD v15 rollout. Availability still depends on the service area and a car being free, TeslaNorth noted.
