Tesla ‘Robotaxi’ fleet is actually shrinking, not growing, new data shows

Less than a month after we reported that Tesla’s unsupervised “Robotaxi” fleet was finally showing some signs of growth, new data from the Robotaxi Tracker tells a different story. The fleet is actually shrinking.

The number of active unsupervised Tesla “Robotaxis” has dropped to just 20 vehicles — down from the 25 cumulative vehicles we reported in late April — and the total active fleet across all Tesla ride-hailing operations has collapsed to just 34 vehicles.

The numbers are going in the wrong direction

When we last checked in on Tesla’s “Robotaxi” program at the end of April, we noted that the unsupervised fleet had grown to 25 cumulative vehicles across Austin, Dallas, and Houston. About 17 of those were active in the previous seven days. We called it “the first real signs of growth” after months of stagnation.

We were too quick to call it.
