Overview
The Tesla Cybercab is a purpose-built two-seat autonomous robotaxi vehicle that Tesla unveiled on October 10 2024 at its 'We, Robot' event. It has no steering wheel or pedals, two upward-opening butterfly doors, inductive (wireless) charging with no charge port, and a single roughly 20.5-inch center display, and it relies on Tesla's camera-only Full Self-Driving (no lidar or radar). Tesla has stated a consumer price target below $30,000 and, on its Q1 2026 earnings call, that Cybercab production has 'just started' with volume production targeted in 2026; Tesla's own Q1 2026 SEC filing characterizes the status as 'Pilot Production' at Giga Texas, and the production-start evidence rests on Tesla's statements and controlled footage rather than independent verification. The Cybercab is NOT the vehicle behind Tesla's deployed Robotaxi service, which launched in Austin in June 2025 on regular Model Y cars with safety monitors. As of mid-2026 there are no verified consumer transactions, purchase pathway, warranty terms, or real-world Cybercab deployment; the registry records it at research maturity (no verified real-world operation), with production and pricing claims tracked as stated, not demonstrated.
