“Probably will make sense to enable car sharing in advance of the robotaxi fleet, because the car sharing can be done before Full Self-Driving is approved by regulators.”

What actually happened

Tesla never launched the owner-vehicle 'Tesla Network' car-sharing service Musk described on the January 2020 earnings call. Fetched Oct 4 2026: Wikipedia Tesla Robotaxi still describes a company-owned fleet (Model Y plus Cybercab in Austin from Sep 3). Electrek Sep 7: not one FSD owner can run their car as a robotaxi. A Sep 3 Cybercab fleet-interest form is for commercial buyers, not peer owner sharing. Status stays missed.
