This is amazing news! The Tesla team is grinding so hard! I can’t wait until FSD Unsupervised is released, this second half of the year has been crazy for Tesla! Per Elon follow up reply: There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous! To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fully autonomous drive with no people in the car or remotely operating the car on a public highway.

Judging by the pic, I'm assuming point-to-point delivery via Starship? Nice!
Yeah, history has been made. Legacy auto in awe!
buy car on your phone sitting on the couch one day. later that week car drives itself to your house. when can we go ahead and tell all the car dealerships (stealerships) their time is done?
I would prefer that my car be delivered without the extra mileage, please
And still had to pay the $1,390 destination fee.
ya but they only deliver it via starship for the first customer. the rest of would have to watch it just drive up and park in the driveway. how lame is that?
I would guess it'd be a preference either way. Pick up or delivery via FSD.
That's not confirmed yet.
Curious behind the logistics of this. They must’ve set up an area to do PDI’s for the car before it’s sent off on its journey. How about license plates?
maybe i'm completely whelmed, but this isnt amazing news to me. this hardly streamlines anything. if im buying a car, i want to review with a car rep to see if anything is not right before accepting. Also, FSD was supposed to be done by now and driving across the country YEARS ago. now we're celebrating a local drive done 1 day ahead of schedule in 2025.
But if you pick it up and drive it home… it will then have the same mileage.
Up next, Tesla drives home drunk owner from bar. Fingers crossed
Elon is probably technically correct due to the "no people in the car" clause, but Waymo has been driving on public highways for a while with passengers, which is functionally the same thing.
Please stop posting
They’ve been doing remote deliveries or drop offs for year. This requires a human only when something is wrong. Also, just because it’s late means it isn’t a big step forward and accomplishment in terms of capability?
Pretty sure that’s a legal thing. You have to pay that from any OEM even if you’re getting it from the factory. Same price too.
This was literally across town.
They do it at the factory instead of a service center. Don’t think it’s that complicated.
Lol, true. More than 10 years later than promised and only geofenced? NP. 1 day ahead of latest schedule? History has been made!!1!1!
Teleoperation is amazing!
30 min between order and delivery or it’s free.
Yeah it seems like a very technical semantics claim lol
Sheesh y’all are never happy
Tesla delivering a feature BEFORE schedule? That’s gotta be a first right?
Elon's profile pic on X (currently)
They still need to have the large car haulers to deliver the cars to each region. Automated delivery is for after it reaches the region. Technically considered last mile, like how Amazon deliveries work.
Laws will need to be updated to accommodate features like FSD. Namely to protect the driver even if they are in the driver seat. In some states you can be charged with DUI even from a passenger seat if there is an indication you could or did act on the driving of the vehicle. I would be more concerned for what Ford hinted at, the car driving back to the dealer/etc when you miss the payment. I would love to say that would never happen but too many items that list of never could happen have.
It says from the factory to the customers home.
There’s no such thing as X should be done by now. It’s released when the technology is ready.
You get the fee if you pick it up from the factory
Might be.
ok, but promises were made. money was invested. people have expectations.
*And once in a moment* *It all comes to you* *As soon as you get it* *You want something new*
If I get a car with 3k miles on it and filthy I’m going to lose it lol
Set the fsd to go back where it came from lol
Agreed, and this is a crazy good milestone! The point I’m trying to make is I don’t see a texas made car self driving to New mexico, unless they have wireless charging.
I think it’s the highway part that makes it a first. Waymo cars drive with “no people in the car” before they pick up the customer.
You’re taking my comment way too seriously
When the first driver of your brand new car isn’t you
I usually don’t delight in people losing their jobs. But I want those parasites destroyed.
[deleted]
It is. I had to pay it picking up at the factory and looked it up at the time to verify there wasn't any way of wiggling out of it.
Can you autonomously send it back after inspecting the panel gaps?
I expect a number of jurisdictions will fight tooth and nail to keep these laws. For no reason other than inertia and a feeling that being drunk in a car is wrong.
Any Tesla investors from a decade ago are more than happy.
im sure they can make it swing by a car wash before arriving at your home.
No it was delivered via Starship I was there
Tesla leading the world as usual
"promises were made..."
Check out the car, no good. Pat on its back: "now off you go, back where you came from"
*customer’s house may not survive delivery.
You’d put those miles on the car anyway, from the pickup location to your home. But this way if the car gets a rock chip, cracked windshield, flat tire, or run into, it’s Teslas problem instead of yours.
They actually delivered Model Y ahead of schedule. Probably because the engineers sort of ignored a lot of Musk's ideas, like no steering wheel, and a new platform.
Do we know where this happened?
Awesome if true!
It’s confirmed. Destination fees are federally mandated to be the same for every customer, regardless of location. Even picking a vehicle up at the factory will have a destination fee.
Jobs don't benefit society if they're not actually useful.
Waymo isn't driverless on highways yet.
No, the highway part is a key. That's a big difference.
Nope, it was stated that there was no teleoperation. Nice try though.
Destination Fees are not federally mandated.
I’m guessing we’re still some time away from the car being able to drop me off at the airport (or wherever) and then drive back home and park?
Now THAT'S frickin' cool! 😁
How come they can deliver the car fully autonomously but can't run the robotaxi fully autonomously? Is it because of liability to the person in the taxi?
Have it drive itself through a carwash first
Destination fees are not federally mandated. The federal mandate is only that the window sticker and the paper work needs to show clearly what the destination fees is (if any) to the customer so you don't trick them. Federal government does not care if a manufacturer actually charges the destination fees. But if it needs to be shown on the window sticker clearly, then there's no way for the car manufacturer to show different prices to different customers depending on their delivery location. So I think auto manufacturers just compute a flat fee for a specific model and put the same amount on the window sticker for all cars they ship.

or an optimus at superchargers to plug the car in
They will just say it’s a stunt, special software was used, it’s not a real deployment etc. After closing Argo and Cruise they’re not going to admit that robo taxis became a thing right after they gave up.
Waymo isn’t a production vehicle coming out of a factory. They’re retrofits.
South Carolina has entered the chat….
Can it drive to my house in Virginia?
South Carolina has entered the chat….
I don't know if it's available publicly, but it's been available to employees in Phoenix, SF, and LA for a while now: https://x.com/Waymo/status/1823026661232685541 https://x.com/waymo/status/1884300282298773590
Next up: houses that present themselves and give you the keys when you buy/rent
I wonder how they are going to charge going cross country

I mean seriously something like Optimus probably will
These are people who would witness world peace and complain that it took too long.
With the robotaxi wireless charging network.
They won't. They'll still be distributed by a Tesla semi because it is still likely more efficient for it to haul several cars than for them to all drive themselves.
Oh that’s right, people here still believe what Elon says…. 🤪
Glad to see he’s adopting the Trump type of tweeting by using all caps to draw attention
That'll do pig, that'll do....
Correct, it's still in testing. Not public.

r/technology is anti-technology. They would hate this.
You're assuming they'd pick it up from the factory...
I don't believe some of his predictions for the future. But why wouldn't I believe him describing something that has already happened?
The fact they haven't posted the video or streamed it live is so weird.
Ok, people (not just elon) over-estimated timelines...it happens when nobody has ever made this work before...you cant be mad like someone blowing estimates to build a house. Its amazing...later than first thought...but still amazing.
Definately not lead car. I would bet anything.
probably wanting to be extra careful with robotaxi.
Did he have to pay the destination fee?
ELON IS THE FUCKING KING
It's there now: [https://x.com/Tesla/status/1938816477127418224](https://x.com/Tesla/status/1938816477127418224)

I think they had multiple autonomous deliveries planned, so that if the first one failed, they had a second or third option that were still on time for the 28th.
Pretty cool but is this allowed? Is it legal to just have robot cars on the road? Or is this an American thing?
Okay, but that wasn't part of the claim. This isn't public either. It's one delivery
They’re certainly anti-Elon.
I wouldn't call 1 day early after being 8 years late "ahead of schedule".
They'll get shipped to Tesla shops and go from there dingus
Yep. Even if it was perfect the PR of autonomous vehicles is already bad enough, no need to voluntarily make it worse. Especially when the status quo is to launch these services with a safety driver(monitor in this case).
We all should be at this point.
There’s airbnbs kinda like that. Also car rentals too. You download an app make a purchase and the car unlocks with the key inside and the Airbnb will give you a code you enter in the keypad lock to your room with a key inside an envelope on the counter. Technically possible for buying a house except for the massive amount of buying legal paperwork.
I thought wireless was silly when I first read about its inefficiency but it won’t matter that much if you’re not there physically waiting on it.
I did some research on this before my first Tesla, I think they say it on the website too but destination fees includes documentation fees like vehicle registration.
Try doing this in the rain!
Is this car also running an unreleased version of FSD similar to how the Robotaxis are? Or is it running on the standard publicly available FSD. And then once the person accepts the delivery, does it revert back to the public FSD?
Efficiency has improved dramatically.
Transactions at dealerships would be very simple, if people would as willing to pay sticker (asking price) as they are willing to pay for their future car on the internet!!!
