Tesla Robotaxi Wait Times Hit 30 Minutes in Austin With Under 60 Vehicles

Tesla's unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin is experiencing significant operational strain, with Bloomberg test rides reporting waits up to 30 minutes and frequent booking blocks as of June 10. The issues stem from a limited fleet of roughly 50-60 vehicles despite the June 3 expansion to the full metro area. Earlier Texas DMV filings from May 28 revealed only 42 authorized Tesla robotaxis statewide versus Waymo's 577, underscoring persistent scale disadvantages and 17 prior incidents. The challenges coincide with TSLA shares falling 3% to $396.68 amid investor focus on execution risks.
