The Tesla Cybercab was unveiled in fall 2024 as a fully autonomous, driverless robotaxi. The two-seat cabin has no steering wheel, pedals, or conventional controls.

Prototype Cybercabs were tested on public roads with a steering wheel, pedals, and a human operator on board. Tesla has indicated that controls could be reinstated if required by law.

Inside, the Cybercab retains a traditional dashboard layout, featuring a large central touchscreen. Storage space accommodates two standard-sized suitcases.

The vehicle is fully electric, with a battery capacity of just under 50 kWh, giving an estimated range of nearly 310 miles. Tesla also plans to equip the Cybercab with wireless inductive charging.

Full-scale production of the Tesla Cybercab is scheduled to begin in April 2026.
