User reports mostly manual driving on a Robotaxi ride to SFO
Unconfirmed: A Reddit user describes a Tesla Robotaxi ride in San Francisco to SFO airport. According to the post, the app offered a fare about one-quarter of Uber or Lyft's, and a car could arrive in 9 minutes. The user says the car was in supervised status and expected few interventions, but claims a driver manually drove from pickup until the car got onto the highway, and only then was FSD engaged. The text received is incomplete, so there are no further details about the trip and no verification from Tesla.
- According to the user, the SFO fare was one-quarter of Uber or Lyft's.
- He reports manual driving from pickup until entering the highway.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla: the account comes from a single user and is unverified. If accurate, it calls into question whether the SFO ride ran with minimal intervention, since it describes manual driving before FSD was engaged on the highway.
📈 Upside: According to the user, the SFO fare was one-quarter of Uber or Lyft's.
📉 Risk: If the account is correct, much of the trip required manual driving, which the user did not expect from a supervised service.
