Tesla Robotaxi Runs Until 1 AM in Austin and Adds COTA Before F1 Weekend

📍 TeslaNorth

Tesla extended Robotaxi hours in Austin: according to app screenshots published by David Moss on X, the service now accepts ride requests until 1 AM, one hour later than the 6 AM to midnight window in Tesla's Q3 2026 update. The geofence also now includes the Circuit of the Americas, host of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix (October 22–25). A banner reads 'Last call is 1am · Limited to nearby dropoffs,' suggesting shorter trips in that final window. Searching 'cota' shows COTALAND and COTA Karting labeled 'Service blocked,' with no clear cause.…

🔎 Why it matters: The change affects Austin's Robotaxi service: rides until 1 AM and a geofence covering the Circuit of the Americas during the US F1 Grand Prix. Tesla has not announced it on its official accounts; the details come from app screenshots.
📈 Upside: It adds one hour to the late-night window and covers COTA during the F1 Grand Prix, October 22–25.
📉 Risk: The 'Limited to nearby dropoffs' banner restricts last-stretch rides, and the 'Service blocked' label on COTALAND and COTA Karting has no confirmed cause.
