Tesla expands autonomous ride-hailing to Orlando and Tampa, marking its second U.S. market rollout days before Q2 results.
Tesla activated its robotaxi service in Orlando and Tampa, Florida, on Tuesday, extending coverage beyond its initial Miami launch earlier this month. The company shared maps on X outlining operational zones in both cities, signaling rapid scaling of its autonomous ride-hailing platform.
The expansion occurs one day before Tesla’s second-quarter earnings report, following a 12% decline in Q1 revenue and a 55% drop in net income year-over-year. Analysts expect further pressure on margins amid price cuts and slowing EV demand.
No immediate market reaction was disclosed, though shares have underperformed the S&P 500 by 28% over the past three months.
