Tesla says it plans to deliver a brand-new Model Y straight from the factory to a customer’s home on June 28—without anyone behind the wheel. The test, set to take place in Austin, will mark the company’s first attempt at a fully autonomous delivery using its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system.

CEO Elon Musk revealed the date in a series of posts on X, calling it a key moment for Tesla’s autonomous technology. The vehicle will reportedly leave the production line and navigate itself to the buyer’s driveway without a human driver or escort vehicle.

Self-delivery has been on Tesla’s radar for a while. Now that Full Self-Driving is dialed in for the Model Y and the Robotaxi pilot is already running in a geofenced part of Austin, it looks like Tesla’s finally ready to give it a real shot.

While Musk acknowledged that the timeline could shift, Tesla’s intention is clear: to automate not just driving but also the car delivery process itself.

A self-delivered vehicle could reduce delivery costs by eliminating the need for car carriers, drivers, and staff at delivery centers. For customers, it would offer faster drop-offs and a completely contactless handoff.

Tesla is expected to start with the Model Y, its most popular vehicle and the one best suited for FSD today. It’s unclear whether that’s due to more training data or internal prioritization, but the Model Y has consistently been Tesla’s go-to vehicle for autonomous features.

The vehicles will run on the same FSD software stack that is already powering Tesla’s test fleet in Austin. Musk said the company is being “super paranoid about safety,” which could still lead to a delay if further testing is needed.

Despite the excitement, some concerns remain. Tesla has faced criticism in the past over delivery quality, and it’s unclear how the company will address potential damage or other issues during an unmanned delivery.

Tentatively, June 22.

We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift.

First Tesla that drives itself from factory end of line all the way to a customer house is June 28.
