About This Simulator

What is the Tesla Robotaxi Simulator?

This is an educational simulation tool designed to help users understand the potential economics and operational challenges of running a robotaxi fleet. It models various scenarios based on publicly available information about autonomous vehicle technology and ride-sharing economics.

How Does It Work?

The simulator creates a virtual city environment and runs autonomous vehicles through realistic scenarios, considering factors such as:

  • Vehicle Performance: Battery capacity, energy efficiency, and charging speeds
  • Operational Parameters: Operating hours, battery management, and trip acceptance
  • Economic Factors: Revenue per mile, surge pricing, and operational costs
  • City Dynamics: Location generation, trip patterns, and demand simulation

Key Features

  • Multi-vehicle fleet simulation
  • Customizable city environments
  • Flexible scheduling options
  • Statistical analysis with multiple runs
  • Real-time battery management
  • Dynamic pricing simulation
  • Charging infrastructure modeling
  • Comprehensive reporting

Limitations and Assumptions

The simulation makes several assumptions and simplifications:

  • Perfect autonomous driving (no accidents or edge cases)
  • Ideal weather and road conditions
  • Simplified demand patterns
  • Basic charging infrastructure modeling
  • Estimated operational costs and revenue

Not for Business Use

No Tesla Affiliation

Data Sources

The simulator uses publicly available information and reasonable estimates for:

  • Vehicle specifications and performance data
  • Energy consumption and charging rates
  • Typical ride-sharing economics
  • City demographics and geography

All data should be considered approximate and for educational purposes only.
