Tesla has temporarily delayed the launch of its Robotaxi project, citing the need for more time for prototype development and testing. The technology will now be introduced in October, after being unveiled on August 8. Elon Musk has frequently promoted Tesla Robotaxi, suggesting they could generate revenue for owners through a ridehailing service. Despite these promises, Tesla’s current autopilot and full self-driving systems still require driver assistance and the company faces multiple lawsuits over fatal accidents involving its technology.

He said in the company’s first quarterly revenue summit call in April that Tesla would introduce “new models” in early 2025 using its existing platforms and production lines.
