Tesla's Cybercab has started production, according to CEO Elon Musk, who shared a video on X on Friday of the autonomous vehicles rolling through the production line, seemingly at Tesla's Giga Texas factory in Austin, Texas. Tesla's official Robotaxi account also posted a video of Cybercabs "in formation" on a highway the same day. Tesla's first Cybercab rolled off the production line on Feb. 18. In its Q4 2025 earnings call, Tesla moved production of Cybercab up to 2026, and in its Q1 2026 earnings call, the company said it "expect[s] volume production of both Cybercab and the Tesla Semi this year." At launch in 2024, Musk said Tesla would produce 2 million units a year of Cybercab in full production capacity, approximately 38,000 vehicles per week, though early stages are likely more like hundreds per week. The company has a history of production delays, and regulators must approve the vehicles before they hit the road. Sixty Cybercab units were spotted at Tesla's Giga Texas in early April, with drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer reporting the vehicles had steering wheels, unlike the cars in Musk's video. Unveiled in 2024, the Cybercab is a fully autonomous electric vehicle with butterfly wing doors and no steering wheel or pedals. Tesla's current self-driving rideshare vehicles, called Robotaxis, are autonomous Model Y cars launched in Austin in 2025.
