Tesla FSD: First autonomous vehicle delivery on June 28

Are you ready for the future of car buying? On June 28, 2025, Tesla plans the world's first autonomous vehicle delivery! A Tesla Model Y will drive directly from the production line to the customer – without a human driver. Here you'll find out how this science fiction scenario becomes reality in Austin, Texas, and what it means for European Tesla fans.

A Milestone: Autonomous Driving from the Factory to You

Imagine: You order a Tesla, and a few days later a Model Y autonomously parks in your driveway, with a notification via app. No pickup, no driver – just pure technology! This vision will be implemented for the first time on June 28 in Austin, Texas, in the same geofenced area where Tesla's robotaxis already drive autonomously. For European drivers, this is a glimpse into the future, even though the technology still has regulatory hurdles to overcome here.

Why Model Y? Optimized FSD Technology

The Tesla Model Y is the flagship for Unsupervised FSD (Full Self-Driving). Thanks to its popularity, Tesla has the most data for this model, which makes software optimization easier. The autonomous delivery uses the same FSD version as the robotaxis in Austin, which is more advanced than the version available to customers. For you, this shows: Tesla relies on proven technology to ensure safety and reliability.

Benefits of Self-Delivery

The autonomous delivery offers Tesla strategic advantages:

Cost Reduction: Less need for transporters, drivers, and personnel in Tesla centers.
Faster Delivery: Customers receive their vehicle faster and more flexibly.
Unforgettable Experience: A futuristic welcome for new Tesla owners.

For European customers, this could mean shorter delivery times and lower prices in the long term, once FSD is approved in the EU. However, there are also challenges, such as potential damage during the ride or legal issues that Tesla must resolve.

Challenges: Timeline and Regulations

Elon Musk emphasized that the date could be postponed to early July if unforeseen problems arise. In Europe, the introduction of FSD is still far off, as the EU has strict regulations for autonomous driving. Tests are ongoing in the Netherlands and Norway, but approval is not expected before the end of 2025. For you as a European driver, this means patience is required, but the technology is developing rapidly.

Outlook: A Step Towards the Robotaxi Future

The autonomous delivery is a logical step in Tesla's Robotaxi Strategy. The same software that controls Model Ys in Austin is used for self-deliveries, minimizing the effort for Tesla. This milestone could further reduce the costs for Tesla vehicles and the brand establish as a pioneer of autonomous driving. For European Tesla fans, it is an exciting preview of what might come.

Conclusion: The Future of Car Buying Begins

On June 28, 2025, Tesla makes history with the first autonomous vehicle delivery in Austin. A Model Y will independently drive to the customer – a moment that turns science fiction into reality. For you as a European Tesla fan, it's a sign that autonomous driving is getting closer, even if the EU still needs time. Stay tuned so you don't miss this historic moment!
