Tesla announced it has successfully completed its inaugural fully autonomous vehicle delivery from the factory to a customer. A posted video on X displays the Tesla Model Y departing the Austin Gigafactory, traveling on highways, navigating suburban areas, and moving through residential zones, ultimately reaching a customer’s apartment complex.

Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, had initially set the promise of the first fully autonomous delivery for June 28th. However, on Friday, he shared that this landmark event occurred a day earlier than anticipated.

“There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous!” Musk stated on X. “To our best knowledge, this is the first fully autonomous journey with neither individuals in the car nor remote operation on a public highway.”

But Tesla’s achievement is still notable, especially when you consider the rocky rollout of the company’s robotaxi service. The robotaxis launched with safety monitors in the passenger seat with access to a kill switch, and within a few days, the vehicles were recorded committing several safety lapses, including driving over the double-yellow line into the opposite lane of traffic and hard braking in the middle of the road for no apparent reason.

By proving it can operate fully autonomous vehicles on highways without a safety monitor present in the vehicle, Tesla is able to demonstrate that its Full Self-Driving system is getting closer to Musk’s promise of “unsupervised” driving. The robotaxis aren’t quite there yet, still requiring safety monitors and remote supervisors. That leaves Tesla in limbo between confidence that its technology can handle the driving without anyone in the vehicle, but less confident when there’s a human being riding inside.

Update, June 28th: Added Tesla’s 30-minute “long version” of the trip.
