Tesla is increasing output of its Cybercab Robotaxi at Giga Texas, with more than 100 units already in outbound lots. The two-seater vehicle lacks a steering wheel and pedals, as it is designed solely for unsupervised autonomy. Production of the first steering-wheel-less model began in February, with continuous manufacturing confirmed in April.
The company has self-certified the Cybercab against federal safety standards to avoid production limits. Elon Musk described the manufacturing ramp as a stretched out S-curve that will accelerate toward the end of the year.
Despite the factory activity, the Robotaxi service remains limited. Tesla operates roughly 50 vehicles in Austin, with only about 14 running unsupervised. Similar small geofenced operations exist in Dallas, Houston, and Miami.
Musk stated on the Q1 2026 earnings call that safety validation is the key constraint. A rewritten version of FSD software is now targeted for late 2026 or early 2027, and material revenue from the service is not expected before 2027.
