Tesla Robotaxi went live in San Antonio at 5 a.m. local time<\/strong> on November 9, 2026. That makes San Antonio Tesla\u2019s eighth city for unsupervised rides. Based on the company\u2019s published map, it\u2019s also Tesla\u2019s biggest launch area so far: a 274- to 275-square-mile geofence covering about 1 million residents, roughly 51% of the metro population, and 721,000 jobs.<\/p>\n

By the numbers, this is Tesla\u2019s largest day-one map<\/strong> yet. The 274- to 275-square-mile geofence is bigger than Tesla\u2019s other opening zones and larger than Waymo\u2019s local 59- to 60-square-mile area. Waymo has offered driverless airport trips<\/a> in San Antonio since February. Tesla still doesn\u2019t, even though the airport sits inside Tesla\u2019s map. The company also hasn\u2019t said how many vehicles it has there, and Robotaxi Tracker still showed no San Antonio cars on Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve been following Tesla\u2019s Texas rollout, this launch deserves a close look, but the 275 square miles<\/strong> probably works better as a ceiling than a promise. Independent checks found only about 59% of Tesla\u2019s advertised area bookable in Austin, along with about 61% in Miami, 72% in Fort Worth, and 78% in Dallas. Railroad crossings and other difficult roads are likely part of why those gaps show up.<\/p>\n\n

Tesla\u2019s service in San Antonio is now running on Tesla Full Self-Driving<\/strong>. It\u2019s expected to use Tesla Model Ys before Tesla Cybercabs arrive. The launch lands just a week after Fort Worth and alongside Austin\u2019s expansion to 443 square miles, up 178 since mid-September. All of that is happening while regulators continue federal scrutiny after reports of erratic driving in Austin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
