Tesla announced the change in a short post late on November 11. It didn't list the cities or say anything about fleet size. Robotaxi still isn't offered in Canada.
Tesla's Robotaxi service no longer closes overnight. In a post on X at 11:31 p.m. Eastern on November 11, 2026, Tesla's official Robotaxi account wrote: "Robotaxi now runs 24/7. Every city we're available in." Less than two weeks earlier, the same account had said operating hours were 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Tesla's Robotaxi account posted a two-line announcement with a short video at 11:31 p.m. Eastern on November 11 (10:31 p.m. in Texas): "Robotaxi now runs 24/7. Every city we're available in." (Robotaxi on X). Elon Musk quoted it shortly after midnight Eastern, writing that "Robotaxi works 168 hours a week" (Elon Musk on X).
Tesla Robotaxi: "Robotaxi now runs 24/7. Every city we're available in."
Quickly. On October 29, Tesla's Robotaxi account listed new operating hours of 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. (Robotaxi on X). That was already two hours later than the 6 a.m. to midnight Tesla gave for Austin in its Q3 2026 Update. We covered that change in our October 30 story. Thirteen days later, the overnight gap is gone.
The post doesn't list which cities count as "every city we're available in", and it says nothing about how many cars run overnight, whether service areas change at night, or whether pricing is different. We're not filling those gaps with outside estimates. For what Tesla has said about specific markets, see our stories on the Fort Worth launch and the bigger Houston service area, and Tesla's Robotaxi Safety Report.
Not directly. Tesla doesn't run Robotaxi in Canada. What Canadians can buy is FSD (Supervised), which Tesla says requires "active driver supervision" and does "not make the vehicle autonomous" (Tesla Canada). Running driverless cars through the night is a step Tesla hadn't taken before, and it's one to watch for anyone waiting on unsupervised driving here. See our FSD in Canada guide for where things stand.

Tesla's order page shows an estimated December 2026 delivery in Austin, Texas. The car only works in supported service areas, and nothing in the announcement mentions Canada.
The change would take effect November 13 under the proposal, but Parliament still has to pass it. Gas, diesel and other vehicles would stay at $100,000.
Tesla North America posted the news on X on the evening of November 12. The program launched in the U.S. on October 29.
