The firm projects Tesla's combined supervised and unsupervised robotaxi fleet will grow to 1,500 vehicles by the end of 2026 and reach 30,000 vehicles by 2030.
"While the absolute number of robotaxis is likely immaterial to earnings this year, the rate of change in the rollout provides more clarity for investors who may be skeptical about Tesla’s autonomous technology at scale," said Morgan Stanley.
As reported by Electrek, Tesla's Miami service area is currently limited to a small geofenced zone covering West Miami and parts of Doral and Sweetwater.
The area bypasses downtown Miami and the local airport.
The limited footprint mirrors challenges in Austin, Texas, where Tesla launched in June 2025 but has struggled to expand its active unsupervised fleet beyond approximately 14 cars due to safety validation constraints.
Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla's autonomous ride-hailing platform now operates in Texas, California, and Florida.
