Currently most robotaxi fleets still grow by converting cars originally built for human drivers. Tesla is taking a harder bet: building a car with no steering wheel or pedals, then scaling it to hundreds of vehicles on public roads
Tesla just registered 30 more Cybercabs in Texas. The purpose-built count is now 349, with 180 added in the past week. Model Y registrations stayed flat at 420.
And more than 300 Cybercabs are already serving Austin
So this isn’t just about testing the idea anymore. Tesla is scaling a car that only works when nobody is driving
