Elon Musk said that Tesla wants to start a robot taxi service in Austin, Texas, around June 22. But this date could change.

Musk wrote on his X page that the date might change. He said Tesla wants to be very careful about safety.

Investors, Wall Street experts, and Tesla fans have been waiting for the self-driving taxis. Musk said they would start in Austin in June.

Last month, Musk said the taxis will be watched by people from far away at first. They will only be able to drive in safe parts of the city. He wants to start with about 10 taxis and then quickly have more. He will offer the service in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, and other cities.

For ten years, Musk has been saying that cars that drive themselves would be ready "next year." Now, Tesla is starting a taxi service with these cars, which makes the situation more difficult. Tesla's car sales have gone down because there are more companies selling electric cars, they are changing their popular Model Y car, and Musk has become involved in politics.

The Austin launch happened after Musk and President Trump had a big argument about taxes. Some experts are worried that Trump might try to cause problems for the robotaxis. They think he might tell safety officials to check them very carefully if there is any trouble.
