askwed Gemini and below is the answer with direct links to news coverage
about it.

Gemini said

It’s true that Tesla recently updated its Robotaxi pricing in Austin,
Texas. As of March 2026, the service has shifted to a $3.00 base fare and
$1.40 per mile.

This latest change follows a series of rapid adjustments. Initially, the
pricing was $1.00 for the base fare and $1.00 per mile. In early March, the
base was briefly raised to $3.25 before settling at the current $3.00 base
and $1.40 per mile rate.
