Tesla has filed permits to build a private robotaxi charging hub at its Wesley Chapel service center on Eagleston Boulevard. The filing could mark the first step toward driverless ride service in Pasco County.

The permit drawings for 4980 Eagleston Blvd. in the Seven Oaks area call for eight V4 Supercharger stalls, a V4 power cabinet, a 1,600-amp switchboard and two light poles. Cole Grinde, who tracks Tesla infrastructure filings, shared the details on X on Sept. 3, calling it "a small 8-stall add-on, not a mega-hub" and further evidence that Tesla is folding robotaxi charging into its existing Florida service-center network. The project description labels the site a "Robotaxi Private Site," not open to the public.

Engineering firm Dewberry Engineers Inc. prepared the plans, which have been issued for permitting, The Wesley Chapel Loop reported Sept. 15.

Wesley Chapel Site Builds On Existing Tesla Location

The charging hub would be added to the same lot where Tesla opened a sales and service center in late 2025. No timeline has been announced.

Tesla's Florida Robotaxi Service Already Underway

Tesla already runs unsupervised robotaxi rides in Tampa, Orlando and Miami, a service it launched in July using Model Y vehicles. The rides operate 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. The company also operates in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

Tampa Expansion Signals Broader Robotaxi Buildout

The Tampa Bay Business Journal reported Sept. 11 that Tesla plans to add robotaxis to the Wesley Chapel service center. The company is also expanding in Tampa proper, where a separate 11-acre site on North Dale Mabry Highway is tied to its robotaxi buildout, the Business Journal reported Sept. 2.

Similar Charging Setups Built In Other Cities

Wesley Chapel's hub follows a pattern Tesla has used in Austin, San Antonio, Mesa and Chandler, wiring dedicated fleet charging into existing service-center lots rather than building standalone facilities.

Florida Law Clears Path For Driverless Operation

Florida law allows fully autonomous vehicles to operate without a human driver and treats the automated driving system as the legal operator, according to the Business Observer. The state also largely prevents local governments from imposing their own rules on autonomous vehicles.

Tesla Has Not Commented On Permit

Tesla has not publicly commented on the Wesley Chapel permit. The permit filings are the first concrete infrastructure step toward fleet operations in Pasco County.
