Cybercab production continues today & I think I captured an autonomously driving version without a steering wheel making a graceful arrival & then backing smoothly into a parking space on the W side of the EOL!
We see many lined up outside the E of the main factory at the exit point with “Robotaxi” on the sides & the rear hatch & for the 1st time, Cybercabs are interspersed into the regular vehicle transportation staging areas, which itself may be a good indicator that production changes are underway.
Good to be back & seeing all the Cybercabs around the site!
I recently was at BVB, a company in Basel, Switzerland that had a lot of great inputs as to how building, managing & scaling a fleet service like @robotaxi & how this may be one of the biggest limiting factors to the speed of deployment that nobody (but me) is talking about.
I posted that video here on X yesterday, so check that out too for more context & thoughts on what we might be seeing with @Tesla.
55 Cybercabs in Dallas, Texas. These things are really stacking up now.
102 Cybercabs were spotted at the outbound lot at Giga Texas yesterday, so a lot more are continuing to be shipped around the U.S. The testing continues!
@the_antrik@themichaelkonen@SawyerMerritt Yeah, since my post, I've seen them with steering wheels and yep, I think they're detachable.
It got me thinking. Once they're in service, if any do get totally stuck, perhaps Tesla staff will come out, connect a steering wheel and drive it manually.
Now that @Tesla has publicly announced the final Cybercab in bright, glossy gold and that production SOP (Start or Production) has happened, here are some views of several at Giga Texas today in the outbound lot.
As you can visually see, these are very noticeably different from the wrapped engineering versions. These look so good out in the sun for the first time!
