Tesla initiated its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with 10 to 20 autonomous vehicles operating in a geofenced area, allowing select Tesla owners to test the service over the weekend. This marks a significant step in Tesla’s push toward self-driving technology, following an internal memo that highlighted plans to expand the Robotaxi Network to additional cities, including San Francisco, as reported by Business Insider. Concurrently, Tesla expanded its Semi charging infrastructure with a new facility at a PepsiCo site near Denver, Colorado, supporting the adoption of Tesla’s electric trucks by major companies like ArcBest and thyssenkrupp Supply Chain Services. During the Q2 2025 Earnings Call, Tesla confirmed progress on its Full Self-Driving (FSD) roadmap, announcing an upcoming FSD update and the integration of a “Hey, Grok” wake word for its AI assistant. Additionally, Tesla opened its first Tesla Diner in Hollywood, combining a restaurant with Superchargers and featuring in-car ordering and auto-pay capabilities. The company also introduced a new frunk LED light strip for Model 3 and Model Y, enhancing its accessory lineup. These developments align with Tesla’s Q2 earnings report, which noted a 16% decline in automotive revenue to $16.7 billion but emphasized future growth in AI and autonomous driving initiatives.
