Tesla Robotaxi Hubs Start Installing Car Cleaning Robots

Tesla is installing automated cleaning robots at its Robotaxi hubs in Austin, equipped with robotic arms that vacuum, sanitise, and remove debris from vehicle interiors as part of a fully autonomous fleet maintenance ecosystem. The move signals Tesla is operationalising the hidden infrastructure required to run high-utilisation autonomous ridesharing at scale. If you're building fleet maintenance, cleaning, or asset management software, Tesla just proved the robotaxi operator will own that layer too. You're not selling to them—you're competing with their in-house automation stack.
