Elon Musk celebrated Friday after a Tesla drove itself from a factory to a customer’s home for the first time.
“First time that a car has delivered itself to its owner!” Musk boasted on X, a day before his 54th birthday.
Musk said the delivery was done ahead of schedule. 
“The first fully autonomous delivery of a Tesla Model Y from factory to a customer home across town, including highways, was just completed a day ahead of schedule,” Musk wrote in another post. “There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous.”
Tesla shared video of the drive, writing on X:,”This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner’s home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner.”
Tesla also debuted its robotaxi service in Austin this week.
