"Tesla will begin charging riders who make a mess while using its Robotaxi service. Riders will be assessed a fee on one or two tiers depending on the severity of the mess. The fee will cost up to $150 for "severe" messes, including biohazard events and smoking. Tesla's Robotaxi service just gained one of the most realistic features imaginable: cleaning fees for when you lose your lunch in the back seat."
"Light vacuum work for something like spilling your fries or tracking in dirt? That'll be $50. But if you manage to end a night on the town with a bit too much and that electric car motion sickness gets to you, you've unlocked the premium tier of fees. The same goes for anybody who smokes in the car. Tesla says that anybody who manages to make a significant enough mess can expect to pay up to $150 in cleaning fees."
Tesla is implementing two-tier cleaning fees for Robotaxi riders, charging $50 for light vacuum work (spilled food or tracked-in dirt) and up to $150 for severe messes such as vomiting, biohazards, or smoking. Mess classification depends on the amount of cleanup required. Cleaning fees apply to spills, tracked-in dirt, puke, and smoking. The fees contrast with Tesla's long-term pitch that Robotaxis would clean and charge themselves without human intervention. Current Robotaxi vehicles remain largely partially automated and continue to require significant human involvement for cleaning and fleet management.
