Tesla shares experienced volatility on January 21, 2026, dropping about 4% initially before rebounding nearly 3%, following CEO Elon Musk's comments on the slow start to production for the Cybercab robotaxi and Optimus humanoid robot. Musk described the early ramp-up as 'agonizingly slow' due to the novelty of the technologies. Investors await the company's Q4 earnings report on January 28 for more details on timelines and regulatory hurdles.
Elon Musk held a meeting with Tesla leaders on Saturday in the Bay Area. The gathering took place at a Tesla facility, as indicated by imagery from the event. A display of the Cybercab's rear was visible in the background.

Tesla executives detailed during their Q4 and FY 2025 earnings call how the company plans a comprehensive robotaxi service that accommodates various passenger needs without relying solely on the two-seater Cybercab. The service will leverage the Cybercab for most trips, supplemented by Model Y vehicles and the Robovan for larger groups. Production of the autonomous Cybercab is set to begin in April 2026.
Tesla's Cybercab robotaxi has been spotted for the first time in Buffalo, New York, conducting cold-weather tests amid mid-30s temperatures. The vehicle, previously limited to low-speed urban trials in Austin, is now navigating highways at higher speeds. This expansion signals accelerating validation ahead of production starting in April 2026.

Following a prior downtown Austin sighting, two Tesla Cybercab prototypes equipped with steering wheels were photographed driving together on South Lamar on December 30, 2025.
