A herd of Tesla Cybercabs caught on a joyride!

Two years after its spectacular presentation at the “We, Robot” event in 2024, Tesla’s Cybercab has entered production.

Elon Musk himself announced it on Friday, April 24, 2026, on X (formerly Twitter), by sharing a video showing the Tesla Cybercabs on the assembly line at Giga Texas, in Austin.

On the same day, Tesla’s official Robotaxi account broadcast images of Cybercabs “in formation” on the highway, reinforcing the sense of concrete progress. The first unit had already come off the line on February 18, 2026, but April marks the shift to more sustained production.

During the first quarter 2026 earnings call, Tesla confirmed its volume production target for the Cybercab and the Electric Semi this year. Ultimately, Musk mentioned a capacity of two million units per year, which is about 38,000 vehicles per week at cruising speed. In the initial months, the pace is expected to remain modest, probably in the range of several hundred per week.

A Cybercab Worth Its Weight in Gold

The Cybercab stands out distinctly from current Robotaxis. This two-seater electric vehicle, fully autonomous, features butterfly doors, a golden body, and notably, no steering wheel or pedals. It is designed to become the cornerstone of Tesla’s robotaxi fleet. In contrast, the Robotaxis deployed since 2025 in Austin are modified Model Ys, equipped with steering wheels and human safety monitors. They compete directly with Waymo and Uber.

Observations made in early April revealed around sixty Cybercabs parked at Giga Texas. Some units still retain a steering wheel for regulatory reasons, while the final models are devoid of one, as shown in the videos shared by Musk.

The production of the Cybercab represents a major step for Tesla, which is betting on autonomy to transform mobility. However, before a mass deployment on the roads, the vehicle must obtain regulatory approvals. With a history of production delays, the company will need to demonstrate its ability to quickly transition from the initial phase to a sustained industrial pace.

This launch comes as Tesla seeks to revive its momentum after a slowdown in traditional electric vehicle sales. The Cybercab embodies the automaker’s ambition: to evolve from a mere car manufacturer to a leader in autonomous and robotic mobility.
