Tesla has released new videos showing its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software in use at Giga Texas, where production vehicles now navigate autonomously from the end of the assembly line to the outbound logistics area.
The system is being used internally in Unsupervised mode, meaning there is no human driver involved as the vehicles complete their routes within the factory grounds. According to the company, more than 50,000 autonomous miles (84,600km) have been accumulated so far between its factories in California and Texas.
Model Y Route
At Giga Texas, the Model Y completes a 1.4-mile (2.25km) route after production. The path is shared with other vehicles, with the vehicles at some points even venturing onto public roads. Along the route the vehicles encounter a dynamic environment with construction equipment, semi-trucks, and pedestrians, all earmarks of a typical road setting.
Tesla’s software manages the drive using vision-based systems trained on real-world driving data. The video shows the Model Y slowing for cross-traffic, making turns, and continuing on its way with no human input. The route offers an opportunity for Tesla to collect structured feedback on how its autonomous system performs in an active industrial setting.

Cybertruck Path and Grade
The Cybertruck takes a shorter 0.6-mile route, but one that includes a steep 17% incline as it travels underneath a nearby highway through the new Boring Company tunnel before arriving at the delivery staging area. This path includes elevation changes, variable lighting, and transitions through underpasses, providing a different set of challenges for the FSD system.

Footage of the Cybertruck shows it navigating the slope with stable control and consistent lane following, helping Tesla validate how the system performs under specific physical conditions.

Focused on Internal Use Ahead of Robotaxi Network
This deployment is currently limited to Tesla’s production facilities, but gives us a glimpse into the upcoming availability of Unsupervised FSD on public roads. Tesla has said it plans to launch a paid robotaxi network in Austin this June, with CEO Elon Musk reiterating this timeline just a few weeks ago.
This project lays the groundwork for that launch, allowing the company to test its software in structured but unpredictable environments, such as factory roads with mixed traffic types. The 50,000 autonomous miles logged so far give Tesla a growing data set for refining its system where safety can be closely monitored.
