SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 (Reuters) - Tesla

tentatively plans to begin offering rides on its self-driving

robotaxis to the public on June 22, CEO Elon Musk said on

Tuesday, as investors and fans of the electric vehicle maker

eagerly await rollout of the long-promised service.

Musk has staked Tesla's future on self-driving vehicles,

pivoting away from plans to build a cheaper EV platform, and

much of the company's valuation hangs on that vision.

But commercializing autonomous vehicles has been challenging

with safety concerns, tight regulations and soaring investments,

and many have been skeptical of Musk's plans.

"We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could

shift," Musk said in a post on X.
