The Tesla Cybercab Seems Ready to Hire!

Tesla’s robotaxi, the now famous Cybercab, is stepping into the spotlight and seems closer than ever to production.
The Tesla Cybercab, the future symbol of autonomous transport according to Elon Musk, has resurfaced in a series of intriguing photos published by the Tesla AI team on X. They show the futuristic robotaxi out on a trip to an In-N-Out drive-in. The shots particularly reveal one detail that no one can miss: the Cybercab seems closer than ever to a production version!
In the images, the vehicle’s silhouette appears significantly more refined than during its first appearance in 2024. The front end, notably, shows precise panel alignment and a finish worthy of a model ready to come off the production line. Even the presence of a license plate holder fuels speculation: has Tesla already begun final tests before production? Especially since sources close to Giga Texas confirm that the installation of Cybercab-specific equipment has been progressing for several months.
A perfect base for an affordable Tesla
And observing these now softer, almost elegant lines, one can’t help but feel a slight regret: why hasn’t Tesla dared to spin off a non-autonomous, more affordable version that would probably appeal to a wider audience? The Cybercab’s design, far more harmonious than earlier prototypes, could have given rise to an original, minimalist small electric city car.
Presented as a 100% autonomous vehicle, the Cybercab is meant to embody Tesla’s vision for the future of mobility: a robotaxi without a steering wheel or pedals, entirely managed by Tesla’s in-house autonomous driving system. Elon Musk promised a launch as early as 2026, but the advanced state of the prototype seen this week might suggest a more ambitious timeline.

As for the chosen setting for this appearance, it is not accidental. Musk has already joked about the “tradition” of taking Tesla prototypes to In-N-Out before production. If this custom is confirmed, the Cybercab’s stop for burger orders could well be the subtle sign that it’s about to hit the road for real.
