List of predictions for autonomous Tesla vehicles by Elon Musk - Wikipedia

Elon Musk's predictions for fully autonomous Tesla vehicles have repeatedly missed their stated deadlines, according to a Wikipedia list tracking them from 2013 onward. Most entries are marked as unmet, including his 2016 claim that complete autonomy was less than two years away and his 2018 suggestion that a coast-to-coast drive could take three to six months. Tesla says full autonomy depends on reliability far beyond human drivers and on regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. A 2023 investor lawsuit alleging securities fraud over these timelines was dismissed in September 2024 after Tesla's lawyers argued the statements were "corporate puffery."
