Tesla’s upcoming “Cybercab,” also called the “Robotaxi,” is designed as a fully autonomous electric vehicle specifically optimized for city transport. Elon Musk introduced the Cybercab as a sleek, minimalist two-seater featuring butterfly doors and wireless induction charging, allowing it to charge without human intervention. Set to cost under $30,000, the Cybercab will rely entirely on Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, with no steering wheel or pedals. Musk predicts an operating cost as low as $0.20 per mile, though this estimate is contingent on the successful deployment of Tesla’s FSD system for reliable, unsupervised navigation.
The vehicle is positioned as part of Tesla’s vision to support urban mobility solutions by offering an affordable, driverless option through Tesla’s autonomous network. While initial production is planned for 2026, Musk cautioned that the timeline could extend due to challenges in developing robust autonomous technology
