Tesla’s technical diagrams for the Cybercab, found in a first responder interaction plan version 1.0 dated June 22nd 2026, confirm the vehicle as the company’s first production front-wheel-drive model, with the drive unit nestled between the front wheels. This layout prioritises simplicity, low weight, and rock-bottom operating expenses for a purpose-built autonomous taxi. The Cybercab has a curb weight of just 3,113 pounds, roughly 340 kilograms lighter than a base Model 3. EPA certification shows the Cybercab achieved a certified 165 Wh/mi, making it the most efficient production electric vehicle tested by the agency, roughly 28% better than the Lucid Air Pure.
