🇺🇸 Tesla has opened Cybercab rides to the public in Austin.
Sawyer Merritt got one of the first and said the thing people have been waiting to hear: the ride is real, with soft suspension, a huge screen, and FSD so smooth the video barely captures it.
For years this thing lived in keynotes and arguments. Tonight it is a two-seat car picking people up.

Wow didn’t expect to be blown away by the Cybercab, but I was. Talked to 10-15 Tesla engineers at today’s event and saw all the work they put into the car. Everything was re-thought and designed for efficiency, manufacturing and reliability. Super impressive. The Cybercab is truly unlike any other car out there.
I want to give a huge congratulations to @elonmusk, @aelluswamy, the Tesla AI and Robotaxi teams, and really the whole Tesla team. Y'all took the Cybercab from unveil to offering public rides with no steering wheel or pedals in just 23 months, despite many people saying it wasn’t possible.
The vehicle very much lives up to the hype. It's incredible. Truly feels like a game changer of a vehicle. Cheers! 🥂🤖
ELON MUSK BOUGHT $6.69 BILLION WORTH OF TESLA $TSLA ...
According to the latest insider transaction data, Elon Musk acquired 286.4 MILLION shares of Tesla on June 17th, valued at approximately $6.69 BILLION.
No words can capture these experiences, even for someone familiar with every line of code and every piece designed and assembled by dedicated teams.
The sweat and the tears.
Thank you everyone for making the dream come true. 🙏
Going to be extremely interesting how the ramp of Cybercab impacts Waymo and Uber in Austin.
Canary in the coal mine is Waymo in SF, which is destroying Uber and Lyft.
What happens when a company owns the means of production and can manufacture them at will?
Carnage.
Tesla Robotaxi team was here and celebrating. Massive milestone achieved. Transportation just changed. Humanity just changed for the better.
Thank you Ashok and team!

The biggest news of the Cybercab event tonight was that @robotaxi has now passed 1M unsupervised miles, that indicates it's accelerating exponentially 📈 🚖 $TSLA
A huge milestone. Congrats @Tesla! ⚡️
🔥 WOW! Elon Musk just announced that likely over 30,000 people will be working high-paying jobs in AUSTIN TX by 2028, at Tesla HQ and manufacturing
The left relentlessly attacks this patriot but THOUSANDS of Americans have entire livelihoods because of him! 🙏🏻
