Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that a Model Y car successfully drove itself from the company’s factory near Austin to a customer’s home, marking what he described as the "first time" for such an autonomous delivery. This move showcases Tesla's ongoing push into autonomous driving technology. In a post shared on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter), stated in a post on X that the autonomous delivery of the Model Y occurred "across town" and included travel on highways. He also mentioned that the delivery was completed “a day ahead of schedule.”
In a comment on the post, the tech billionaire also specified that there was no one inside the car during the delivery, nor were there any remote operators controlling the vehicle. Later on, he shared multiple posts, including one with a video showing the car driving itself to the customer's home.
What Elon Musk said about Tesla’s first fully autonomous delivery to a customer
In his first post regarding this Tesla achievement, Musk wrote: “The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule!! Congratulations to the @Tesla_AI teams, both software & AI chip design!”
“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,” he noted, adding more details about Tesla’s first fully autonomous delivery in the post’s comment section.
Later on, replying to the customer’s post who received his self-driving Tesla Model Y at his home, Musk wrote: “First time that a car has delivered itself to its owner!”
Soon after, Tesla shared a video of the car driving itself to the customer from the company’s factory. The company highlighted: “World's first autonomous delivery of a car! This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner”
Musk reshared this video and wrote: “Kapow! 💫”
This comes just days after Tesla launched its pilot robotaxi service, giving a select group of influencers and investors self-driving rides in Model Y cars within a limited area of Austin.
