Tesla (TSLA) has added Miami, Florida, as one more city to its Robotaxi Service.
Around a year ago, the electric vehicle maker opened jobs for its Autopilot (now FSD) department in Florida’s cities of Miami and Tampa. These job openings hinted that Tesla is aiming to launch its Robotaxi Service in these cities.
Last week, Tesla made an official announcement on X that its Robotaxi Service is now operational in Miami. The automaker also shared the geofence map where its Model Y Juniper Robotaxi vehicles are providing autonomous ride-hailing services (see below).
As it’s been more than a week since the service has been available, we have added a few first impression reviews of the users of the Tesla Robotaxi Service in Miami, FL.
Tesla Robotaxi Miami Map (Unsupervised FSD)
When a person calls a Tesla Robotaxi in Miami, the Model Y comes to the location all on its own. There is no safety personnel present in the vehicle (it uses Tesla’s Unsupervised Full Self-Driving AI to reach the users and then to the destination).
Currently, Tesla’s unsupervised ride-hailing service is operational in a geofenced area of Miami (see map above). The interactive version of this map is available to Tesla Robotaxi app users in Miami, Florida, to ensure the service is available in their area.
The current rollout is in a limited geofenced area to gather more data and ensure the safety of the users. As in the case of Austin, TX, Tesla will increase the geofenced area once the operations become smooth and the company has more ground data to further train the self-driving AI vision.
Areas Covered
According to rough estimates, the Tesla Robotaxi geofence map covers an area of 10-20 square miles. Tesla has intentionally kept the initial area small for the reasons we’ve stated above.
Covers West Miami (central in the zone), parts of Doral (northwest), a slice toward Sweetwater, and a corner of Coral Gables.
In the north, it touches the SR 826 (Palmetto Expressway). In the southern part, it goes through US 41 (Tamiami Trail). The east/west edges are defined by state roads like SR 968 (Flagler Street area), SR 953, SR 959, etc.
First Impression Reviews
From Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables
Two Tesla YouTubers (The Road to Autonomy and David Moss) travelled to Miami, Florida, to experience the Tesla Robotaxi ride-hailing service. Although they have previously used it in Austin and Houston, testing it in Miami was a must for them.
They called the Tesla Robotaxi from the iconic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Miami. Interestingly, the Robotaxi ride was cancelled twice. Once because of the lightning storm, and the reason for the second cancellation is unknown.
It was hard to get a Robotaxi because of the small fleet and high service demand by the users. At last, their Model Y Robotaxi arrived, and the vehicle went away without picking them up (the wait time is 7 minutes, but it seems the vehicle went away even earlier).
Finally, when they sat in a Robotaxi, the vehicle wouldn’t move. The rear screen has an option to call Tesla Support. So, after calling Tesla Support, the Robotaxi started moving at last. These are a few quirks that early users have to face.
Another interesting scenario was when a piece of a tree’s exterior shell (bark) fell on the road ahead; the Tesla Robotaxi refused to move forward. It took the Tesla Robotaxi 4 mins and 45 seconds to drive over the piece of bark.
In case of Supervised FSD, the driver would’ve pushed the accelerator pedal to move or could’ve taken over the steering wheel to drive further. However, in a Robotaxi, users are not allowed to disengage or use the steering wheel or pedals.
On the plus side, the unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi kept on moving ahead on mildly flooded streets and puddles created by Florida rains. The water accumulation didn’t confuse Unsupervised FSD.
More Test Rides in Miami
Tesla FSD enthusiast and frequent user of ride-hailing services in Miami, Justin Merman, shared his experience in an X post with multiple short videos. He said:
Robotaxi in Miami is much better than even I anticipated! Way better experience than any other ride share platform imo. Vids of arrival, during, and a tailing shot I got for #Robotaxi breaking for a scooter pedestrian
