Tesla Makes History: First Fully Autonomous Model Y Delivers Itself to Customer
Tesla achieved a groundbreaking milestone on Friday, June 28, when a new Model Y autonomously drove itself from the Austin factory directly to a customer’s home, marking the brand’s first-ever fully unsupervised self-driving delivery. This historic event, celebrated by CEO Elon Musk on his 54th birthday, saw the vehicle navigate highways and city streets for approximately 30 minutes without any human intervention or remote control.
Musk confirmed the achievement via social media, stating, “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. There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous.” A video documenting the journey from the Gigafactory Texas to the customer’s downtown Austin address was released as proof of the unprecedented feat.
The move comes as Tesla aims to shift investor focus towards its advanced AI and robotaxi services, particularly ahead of expected Q2 sales figures that anticipate a significant decline in deliveries. While the implications for future distribution and the technology’s broader rollout remain to be seen, this successful autonomous delivery represents a significant step forward for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities.
