Tesla plans to build a private charging hub for its driverless Robotaxi fleet at the company's Wesley Chapel service center off I-75.

Permit filing details Supercharger upgrades

Permit filings show Tesla wants to add eight V4 Supercharger stalls, a V4 power cabinet, a 1,600-amp switchboard and two light poles at 4980 Eagleston Blvd. in the Seven Oaks area, The Wesley Chapel Loop reported Sept. 15. The project description labels the site a "Robotaxi Private Site."

The hub will not be open to the public.

Analyst says project follows pattern from other markets

Tesla-focused analyst Cole Grinde, who reviewed the permit drawings, posted his breakdown on X on Sept. 3. He noted the Wesley Chapel project follows the same pattern Tesla has used at existing service centers in Austin, San Antonio, Mesa and Chandler, Arizona, where the company added small fleet-charging installations rather than building standalone facilities.

Grinde wrote on X: "It's a small 8-stall add-on, not a mega-hub, but it is another concrete sign Tesla is wiring Robotaxi charging into its existing service-center footprint in Florida."

Charging site to sit at existing service center

Dewberry Engineers Inc. prepared the plans, which have been issued for permitting. The infrastructure would sit on the same lot as the Tesla sales and service center that opened in October 2025 near I-75 Exit 279, close to Lexus and Toyota of Wesley Chapel and BayCare Wesley Chapel hospital.

Robotaxi service already expanding in Tampa Bay area

Tesla launched unsupervised Robotaxi rides using Model Y vehicles in Miami in early July, then expanded to Tampa and Orlando later in July, according to Not a Tesla App. The service runs from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily across six U.S. cities, including Austin, Dallas and Houston in Texas.

The Tampa Bay Business Journal reported Sept. 11 that the Wesley Chapel expansion follows Tesla's recent entries into those Florida markets. Tesla also leased an 11-acre site on North Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa for Robotaxi operations, the Business Journal reported Sept. 2.

Waymo also runs driverless rides in Tampa

Waymo opened its own driverless ride-hailing service to the public in Tampa on Sept. 1, according to the Business Observer. Both companies now run paid autonomous rides in Tampa. Florida law allows fully autonomous vehicles to operate without a human inside and treats the automated driving system as the legal operator.

No timeline has been announced for when the Wesley Chapel charging hub will be completed or when Robotaxi rides might begin in the area.
