Tesla has applied for an autonomous vehicle network permit in Nevada to launch commercial robotaxi rides in the Las Vegas Valley. The application, now under review by the Nevada Transportation Authority, follows sightings of gold-colored Cybercabs in the area.

Hundreds of Tesla Cybercab vehicles have been observed at Gigafactory Texas with new side decals, signaling potential entry into the company's ride-hailing fleet soon. The sightings follow the vehicle's recent receipt of an EPA Certificate of Conformity. Observers note the addition mirrors prior Model Y markings used during a similar launch about a year ago.

Following the first Cybercab production unit in February, Tesla released a video on April 23 showing multiple steerless robotaxis rolling off the line and driving autonomously to the outbound lot. This footage underscores rapid progress toward volume production amid broader autonomous driving advancements.

Tesla has launched unsupervised Robotaxi rides in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas, with the service expanding to Dallas and Houston on April 18. Geofenced areas are active in Houston's Jersey Village neighborhood and Dallas' Highland Park, as shown in maps shared on X. A regular customer ride was confirmed in Dallas shortly after rollout, and Tesla showcased a 360-degree view of a ride without onboard safety monitors.

Tesla's Robotaxi service launch in Las Vegas appears imminent after Model Y vehicles equipped with rear camera washers were spotted in a suburban parking lot. The cars bear Texas license plates, a feature shared only with Model Y robotaxis in Austin.

Tesla Robotaxi service testing has been spotted in Dallas, Texas, using Model Y vehicles with rear camera washers. These vehicles, which match those in Austin, bear Texas plates, and one was seen simulating a pickup and dropoff. Tesla previously named Dallas among seven metro areas for robotaxi coverage in the first half of 2026.
