Our unboxed process for Cybercab assembles vehicle modules in parallel & frames the car in one step at the end. This streamlines automation & reduces the line size by half, unlocking much greater production capacity. The first real revolution in automotive manufacturing in over a century

What I like about the Cybercab is that it only has two seats. In the eight years I lived in Los Angeles and had a Tesla S, I used four seats twice, and two seats four times. So, most of the time I was driving alone. A smaller car that’s safe and drives itself would’ve been fabulous.

Someone made us roll our window down and asked us how to get a Tesla Cybercab. Told them just download the Tesla Robotaxi app. 😎 (Filmed in another Cybercab by @iliketeslas )

Cybercab is absolutely magical. Tesla has actually done it. A domestically mass-produced affordable autonomous electric vehicle is available to the general public. A car with no steering wheel generating revenue. It’s sad to come back to a city without Robotaxi after being in Austin. Like stepping back in time. The event was awesome. I know it was tough to follow online, but we all knew the story going in. This was a launch, not an unveiling. It felt like the city transformed immediately. Cybercabs were everywhere, you couldn’t take a trip without seeing another one. Outside of the ride experience itself, the scale of this launch is what I want to make sure people understand. On previous trips, Robotaxi felt like a test network (an amazing one). Not anymore. Suddenly it’s real. It’s hard not to laugh when you ride past a Waymo in a Cybercab. Good luck… As I’ve said before, Robotaxi is way smoother than Waymo. It feels natural. Supernatural, really. This holds true for Cybercab. Waymo feels like a computer. And it looks like one too. The production Cybercab is beautiful. It really is special. The color, the lines, the lighting, the doors. It looks great. While also being the most efficient car in history? Insane. I think it fits perfectly in the space between familiarity and the future. It doesn’t stick out, but it catches your attention. After exiting our first ride, there was a large group of 10-20 people. They were all talking about the Cybercab as we walked by. These doors are like gasoline on a word of mouth wildfire. Our rides were flawless. Better than a human driver. No anxious moments. Cybercab is very comfortable, even at 6’2. Leg room is particularly notable. It would be tough to find a car that has this much leg room for two passengers at the same time. No pedals, center console, or multiple rows of seating creates a lot of space and a very open feel. Robotaxi is unquestionably one of those products that will be way cheaper and way better than what existed before. I like those. No one is going to want to roll the dice on some random person and their car when the alternative is a private, safe, comfortable, clean, consistent, quiet, personalized Tesla with tons of room and a massive screen. It’s a premium experience on every level, and we get it cheaper thanks to technology. No noise or air pollution, either. I don’t have much to critique. Little refinements that I know will happen. Pick up and drop off were satisfactory, over time will become excellent. Grok integration is already impressive, and it’s clear that we’ll eventually be able to just give directions like “pull over around the corner up there.” You can already have Grok update your destination in Robotaxi, it pushes the update to the Robotaxi app on your phone for approval. I leave the event with more confidence in Tesla’s ability to scale, but also renewed patience. I have a greater appreciation for the intentionality of limitations (service area, times, fleet size) rather than seeing them simply as barriers that have yet to be overcome. I now believe the objective is to build slowly, safely, to critical mass. A tail-risk event is inevitable. The absolute last thing we need is some bad luck on a tail-risk event at an early stage before enough data exists to prove its rarity. That data is accumulating quickly and will become undeniable soon enough. Huge congrats to Tesla and Elon for this incredible milestone. Decades of work culminating in a life-saving, sustainable, affordable, economically exceptional product. It’s all pretty surreal, a testament to vision and determination. I love this company!

Tesla designed the Cybercab so a blind person can ride without needing any help. And you can see that in the hardware. Inside the Cybercab, the door release has a warning-triangle door icon and Braille that reads OPEN. Lift it lightly and the butterfly door opens. Pull it all the way to the second detent and it becomes the mechanical emergency release, meaning it can still open the door even if the car has zero power. Your fingers can tell you exactly what it is before you pull it. Then look overhead. Between the dome lights is another button. Braille says STOP. Press it and Cybercab requests an immediate pull-over, ends the ride, and connects you with Robotaxi Support. Think about why those two controls matter so much… There’s no steering wheel. There’s no pedals. There’s no driver sitting up front to ask for help. So Tesla made sure a blind passenger can physically find the two most important controls, identify them by touch, and use them independently. The Tesla team didn’t stop there… The doors can also automatically open when your phone approaches it. The Robotaxi app works with screen readers. The seats are positioned around wheelchair height. There’s room in the cabin for a service animal and trunk space for things like a folded wheelchair or cane. Voice and audio cues can replace information you would normally need to see on a screen. Cybercab accessibility is a core part of the product and experience design… Elon even told us the goal is to make sure Cybercab meets the needs of the blind. Tesla even once brought a production Cybercab to the National Federation of the Blind convention in Austin so blind attendees could actually get inside, touch the controls, and experience it themselves. True autonomy is not true freedom if you still need another person beside you just to use it. Cybercab is the definition of true autonomy.
