AN INDEPENDENT IDEA FOR TESLA

While you charge,
help a robotaxi.

A few spare minutes. A useful little quest.
A reward—and the feeling of making a difference.

Find your kind of quest

The car comes to someone already there.

01

No extra trip

Help during a stop you were making anyway.

02

Always your choice

Only the tasks you want, when you have time.

03

A little goes a long way

A small action could avoid a longer service interruption.

THE SUPERCHARGER ADVANTAGE

Bring the car
to the help.

A charging stop brings together a place to park, a connected car and people with a few minutes to spare.

OWNER AVAILABILITY

Checked in • Charging tasks selected

BEFORE THE CAR ARRIVES

Your spare time becomes a useful signal.

You opt in for five minutes. Dispatch finds a suitable task that fits your location, preferences and time.

A proposed dispatch capability

SMALL QUESTS. DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE.

What feels
like your kind of help?

Some people like fixing things.
Some just like helping the next person.

EXAMPLE QUEST~1 min

Plug in.
Help it get going.

Connect the charging cable to this parked Model Y robotaxi.

A familiar task at a charger you already use.

An interactive concept, not a live task.

WHAT YOU GET BACK

A minute that
means something.

01

A little Supercharging credit

02

The satisfaction of a useful favour

03

A robotaxi ready for its next step

Rewards and times are illustrative. Tasks would need approved access, suitable supplies, verification and a dependable fallback.

HELP CAN BE INFORMATION, TOO

Sometimes,
a second look
is the whole quest.

A blocked pickup bay. A confusing entrance. Something unusual about a nearby robotaxi.

Owners could report what they notice—or answer a specific check requested by the fleet.

CHECK REQUESTED

Is this pickup bay blocked?

A quick observation can add context that helps the fleet decide what to do next.

Tap a response to explore the idea.

Optional voice noteRelevant clip, with consent

Observations inform review. They do not directly command the car.

THE BIGGER IDEA

An owner community.
A practical part of the fleet.

Customers could help Robotaxi flourish—even when their own cars aren’t carrying passengers.

Go deeper into the research

A concept worth testing. Built from published Tesla capabilities and research on participation. Fleet savings and owner engagement would need a pilot.
