Tesla has set Q2 2027 as its target for bringing unsupervised "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) to customer-owned vehicles, according to Electrek. The date is the latest in a series of timelines the company has offered to FSD buyers over roughly the past decade.
On Tesla's third-quarter 2026 earnings call, AI chief Ashok Elluswamy framed the plan as owners adding their own cars to Tesla's managed Robotaxi fleet, rather than buyers receiving a vehicle that would drive them anywhere on demand, Electrek reported.
Separately, Tesla indicated that customer deliveries of its Cybercab would begin around the end of the year, according to InsideEVs. The company said the majority of Cybercabs would be owned by Tesla itself, with CEO Elon Musk cited on that point.
