Tesla is organizing a two-day autonomy pop-up event in Austin, Texas, beginning March 13, 2026. The event allows visitors to view the Cybercab, interact with Optimus, and try out Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Food and limited merchandise will be available for purchase on site.

Tesla has stopped production of its Model S and Model X vehicles to redirect factory capacity toward the Optimus humanoid robot program. The company is gearing up for limited sales and possible mass production of Optimus, while also planning an initial run of the Cybercab robotaxi. This shift accompanies growing legal and regulatory challenges related to the Cybercab name, Autopilot marketing, and full self-driving accident disclosures.

Victor Nechita, Tesla's vehicle program manager for the Cybercab, has left the company after nearly nine years, just days after the first production unit rolled off the line at Gigafactory Texas. Nechita, who joined as a Model 3 intern in 2017, led the Cybercab from concept to initial production. His departure adds to a series of senior executive exits at Tesla amid preparations for volume production in April.
