Hundreds of Tesla Cybercab vehicles have been observed at Gigafactory Texas with new side decals, signaling potential entry into the company's ride-hailing fleet soon. The sightings follow the vehicle's recent receipt of an EPA Certificate of Conformity. Observers note the addition mirrors prior Model Y markings used during a similar launch about a year ago.

Tesla has launched unsupervised Robotaxi rides in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas, with the service expanding to Dallas and Houston on April 18. Geofenced areas are active in Houston's Jersey Village neighborhood and Dallas' Highland Park, as shown in maps shared on X. A regular customer ride was confirmed in Dallas shortly after rollout, and Tesla showcased a 360-degree view of a ride without onboard safety monitors.
