Tesla Robotaxi App Goes Global, Rides Still US-Only in 7 Cities
KEY FACTS
- The Tesla Robotaxi app has launched in the UK, Australia, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Singapore, and other regions.
- The app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play, with more regions to be added.
- The overseas rollout mainly lets tourists use the autonomous ride-hailing service once they arrive in the US.
- The Robotaxi ride-hailing service currently operates in only seven US cities, including Austin, San Francisco, and Dallas.
- Only Austin allows riders to hail a Cybercab, and local operating hours there have been extended to 11 PM.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
The app goes overseas but the service does not, and Tesla is locking in international tourists' mindshare ahead of time at extremely low marginal cost to pave the way for future overseas launches. But European regulators have not even finalized rules for supervised FSD, so Robotaxi actually hitting the streets of London and Berlin will likely take quite a while.
