Following the first Cybercab production unit in February, Tesla released a video on April 23 showing multiple steerless robotaxis rolling off the line and driving autonomously to the outbound lot. This footage underscores rapid progress toward volume production amid broader autonomous driving advancements.
In a video shared by Tesla news tracker Sawyer Merritt, Cybercabs—building on the February milestone at Gigafactory Texas—emerge from the production line without human intervention, navigating independently to the outbound lot. This demonstrates key strides in robotaxi readiness.
Tesla confirmed Cybercabs are exempt from the annual 2,500 autonomous vehicle cap, facilitating scaled deployment. The company's recent 10-Q filing revealed an agreement to acquire an AI hardware firm for up to $2 billion, mostly performance-based.
Autonomy metrics are accelerating: 456,000 active Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscribers yield over $45 million monthly, with the fleet achieving 28.8 million FSD miles daily—a 100% increase from three months ago. Production plans include a 20% Model Y output boost at Giga Berlin from July via 1,000 new workers, plus doubled GPU training capacity in Q2 2026.
