Tesla Cybercab: Production Starts, But What Is It?
20 Feb
Summary
- Cybercab production begins April, lacking steering wheel or pedals.
- Current Tesla robotaxis in Texas are Model Ys with human minders.
- Cybercab pricing promises $30,000, but Cybertruck saw a higher launch price.

Production of Tesla's Cybercab, a vehicle notably designed without a steering wheel or pedals, is slated to commence in April. This announcement follows ongoing trials of Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, which currently utilize supervised Tesla Model Ys. The Cybercab's distinct design, unveiled in late 2024, differentiates it from these existing robotaxis, which are essentially regular Teslas with remote human oversight.
Concerns persist regarding Tesla's autonomous driving capabilities, as recent reports indicate a significantly higher crash rate for their robotaxis compared to competitors like Waymo. Elon Musk's past tendency to make grand pronouncements before products are fully realized fuels skepticism about the Cybercab's actual readiness for unsupervised operation.
