Vehicles from Tesla will drive themselves to their new owners' homes

Starting next July, Tesla will begin delivering its vehicles in a very special way that could have come straight out of a science fiction film. According to Elon Musk himself, instead of customers having to go to a delivery point to receive their new vehicles, the vehicles will be the ones that drive themselves to their new owners’ homes.

A promise that, if it becomes reality, will mark a before and after in the automotive sector. Imagine the feeling of getting out of bed in the morning and, when you look out the window, the first thing you see is your new Tesla waiting for you at your front door. An indescribable feeling, without a doubt.

According to the head of the American firm, this will make the buying experience as simple and satisfying as possible, eliminating any kind of friction. You place the order from your mobile device in 2 minutes, selecting from the limited options the manufacturer usually offers compared with other competing brands, wait a few days until the delivery date you are given, and that day, without doing anything else, you will find the vehicle at your front door, which you can access from the app on your mobile device. Could it be any easier?

Buying a car shouldn’t be so complicated

The simplicity of this whole process clearly contrasts with the quite cumbersome experience that buying a vehicle from many other manufacturers often involves: having to travel to a dealership usually located on the outskirts of the city, being obliged to deal with the salesperson for hours until the purchase is closed, and having to configure the vehicle by choosing from dozens of options and additional equipment items.

Although Musk has not detailed which regions will have autonomous deliveries available, through his account on X the head of Tesla has published some videos showing how newly built vehicles leave the production plant on their own and drive autonomously to the car parks where they are temporarily stored until their delivery day. That said, we must not forget that these movements take place in a closed and controlled environment. Something very different from vehicles travelling on their own through urban traffic to reach their new owners’ homes.

Nor can the possibility be ruled out that these autonomous deliveries will initially be limited to the city of Austin, in the state of Texas, where Tesla plans to deploy a small fleet of robotaxis from mid-June of this coming month, as we already told you just a few days ago here at HighMotor.

We will be watching to see how this whole matter evolves and whether the company is able to keep this promise and under what conditions.
