Tesla Launched the Cybercab Thursday, 6 Weeks After Removing Volume Production of It From This Year's Plan
Riders in Austin can now hail the two-seater. The company's own July letter says batteries still set the pace.
Overview
At an invite-only event in downtown Austin on Thursday, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) put the Cybercab into service. The two-seat robotaxi has no steering wheel and no pedals. And riders in the city can now hail one through the company's Robotaxi app, joining the driverless Model Ys that have carried paying passengers there since June 2025.
Shares rose 5.7% on Thursday ahead of the event, closing at about $376.
Details
CEO Elon Musk spent the run-up teasing the launch, pinning a post on X that read "A storm of Cybercabs." The storm, for now, is modest: Texas has authorized 45 Cybercabs for driverless operation statewide.
