Tesla AI software vice president Ashok Elluswamy, on 9/4 on X, said: Robotaxi needs to run all day, every day (24/7)—roughly “around next month,” and the key is the next piece of technology planned to be merged into the FSD v15 rollout.
His original quote was very brief; it didn’t provide a list of cities and didn’t promise that it would be enabled on the first day of next month. On 9/11, he also mentioned that the v15 direction includes earlier detection of hazards, faster response, and collision avoidance—again, these are statements from executives, not a regulator-certified report.
For ride-hailing users: if the timeline holds, the service gap would shift from “only during business hours” to “a car available at any time.” But whether people can feel comfortable riding still depends on responsibility for incidents, remote intervention, and data transparency—not on the phrase “24/7” by itself. Note: the benchmark for “around next month” is his 9/4 reply, not something he said just today.
