All of the new Tesla cars made in Texas drive 1.5 miles on public roads from the GigaTexas factory to a loading area. Hundreds of new Tesla make this drive every day and over a thousand new Tesla make a shorter 1 mile drive in Fremont California.
This is evidence that Tesla is ready for the June 1, 2025 release of a paid robotaxi service in Austin with 10-20 vehicles and an expansion of the service through the end of the year.
There is some traffic on the road and various turns and merges.
