Tesla has expanded its Robotaxi service to 24-hour operations across all cities where the autonomous ride-hailing platform is currently available, removing previous overnight restrictions.
The company announced the change on November 11 through its official account, confirming that Robotaxi now operates around the clock in every active market.
Previously, the service operated within a limited daily schedule. App screenshots from several locations, including Dallas, showed operating hours between 5 AM and 2 AM, leaving a three-hour overnight gap.
Longer Operating Hours Expand Robotaxi Availability
The move follows several gradual extensions of Robotaxi’s operating schedule. In late October, Tesla introduced service hours from 6 AM to 2 AM, alongside features including trip sharing, rear-view camera access and Calm Mode. Subsequent changes moved the starting time forward to 5 AM before the latest expansion removed the remaining restrictions.

Round-the-clock operations could make the service more accessible for passengers travelling during overnight hours, early mornings and late evenings.
However, availability remains dependent on service-area coverage and vehicle supply. Tesla has not announced changes to geographic boundaries, highway access or the addition of new cities alongside the extended operating hours.
Expansion Across Texas Markets
The development also comes as Tesla continues expanding its Robotaxi footprint in the United States.
The company recently introduced service in San Antonio, following Fort Worth and adding to its existing Texas markets, including Austin, Dallas and Houston.
Tesla had previously targeted 24/7 Robotaxi operations before the end of 2026. During the company’s October earnings call, AI software chief Ashok Elluswamy outlined the timeline for expanding service availability.
