TLDR

An X user posted that a driverless Cybercab and nine Model Ys arrived at a public Tesla Supercharger, where one employee handled the plugs and repositioned cars that did not line up. The account offers a limited snapshot of human assistance during one charging session, not proof of a standard procedure. Elon Musk separately said Tesla was being “extremely careful” with autonomous safety.

A user posted on X that a driverless Tesla Cybercab arrived empty at a public Supercharger alongside nine Model Ys. According to his account, one Tesla employee walked between the vehicles to plug them in.

The worker also moved cars that were not positioned well enough to charge, the post said. The account captures a manual step in this particular robotaxi charging session. It does not identify the location or establish whether the setup is standard practice for Tesla.

In a separate post, Elon Musk said Tesla was being “extremely careful with autonomous safety.” His statement describes the company’s posture, but it does not independently verify the charging account or establish how widely Tesla uses this process.

Abhimanyu Yadav@WorldlyReviewerSo look at what I found. This is how Tesla charges unsupervised robotaxis at a public supercharger. Here is a driverless Cybercab showing up with no one in it. There are 9 other Model Ys that showed up too. A Tesla employee is walking around and plugging each of them in. She also moves the cars if they are not positioned well enough to charge. I love this process. One person charges multiple robotaxis at once7d
sunny madra@sundeepGiven @Tesla’s manufacturing capabilities, FSD technology, and supercharger network, it is difficult to imagine anyone being able to compete with them…6d
Elon Musk@elonmusk@SawyerMerritt We are being extremely careful with autonomous safety, just as we are with making Teslas the safest cars in the world for human driving6d
X Freeze@XFreezeElon Musk explains why Tesla is being extremely careful while scaling Robotaxi The ambition is massive...but Elon’s priority is making sure they do not hurt anyone There are roughly 30,000–40,000 automotive deaths every year in the U.S., and most receive almost no national attention But if a Tesla Robotaxi injures even ONE person, it can instantly become worldwide headline news and regulators could clamp down on the entire operation So Tesla has to do two things at the same time: Scale Robotaxi as fast as humanly possible AND make sure it causes essentially no harm Elon put it very simply: “We do not want to injure anyone” “And ideally...not even run over a pet” That is the real constraint on Robotaxi right now And despite being this cautious, the rollout is accelerating fast Tesla’s authorized Cybercab fleet in Texas has nearly QUADRUPLED in just one month 45 → 169 Cybercabs And Tesla now has 589 Robotaxi vehicles authorized in Texas when you include 420 Model Ys Unsupervised Robotaxi miles have also been growing at double-digit rates week after week So Tesla is not moving slowly It’s scaling incredibly fast while trying to maintain an insanely high safety bar That’s the balance Elon is trying to solve6d
Timothy B. Lee@binarybitsTesla is making solid progress with Robotaxi but I've gotta say the last 18 months have been a total vindication for the "Tesla isn't doing anything special and will have to do the same city-by-city slog as Waymo" thesis.5d
