Cybercab is absolutely magical. Tesla has actually done it. A domestically mass-produced affordable autonomous electric vehicle is available to the general public. A car with no steering wheel generating revenue.
It’s sad to come back to a city without Robotaxi after being in Austin. Like stepping back in time. The event was awesome. I know it was tough to follow online, but we all knew the story going in.
This was a launch, not an unveiling. It felt like the city transformed immediately. Cybercabs were everywhere, you couldn’t take a trip without seeing another one. Outside of the ride experience itself, the scale of this launch is what I want to make sure people understand.
On previous trips, Robotaxi felt like a test network (an amazing one). Not anymore. Suddenly it’s real. It’s hard not to laugh when you ride past a Waymo in a Cybercab. Good luck… As I’ve said before, Robotaxi is way smoother than Waymo. It feels natural. Supernatural, really. This holds true for Cybercab. Waymo feels like a computer. And it looks like one too.
The production Cybercab is beautiful. It really is special. The color, the lines, the lighting, the doors. It looks great. While also being the most efficient car in history? Insane. I think it fits perfectly in the space between familiarity and the future. It doesn’t stick out, but it catches your attention. After exiting our first ride, there was a large group of 10-20 people. They were all talking about the Cybercab as we walked by. These doors are like gasoline on a word of mouth wildfire.
Our rides were flawless. Better than a human driver. No anxious moments. Cybercab is very comfortable, even at 6’2. Leg room is particularly notable. It would be tough to find a car that has this much leg room for two passengers at the same time. No pedals, center console, or multiple rows of seating creates a lot of space and a very open feel.
Robotaxi is unquestionably one of those products that will be way cheaper and way better than what existed before. I like those. No one is going to want to roll the dice on some random person and their car when the alternative is a private, safe, comfortable, clean, consistent, quiet, personalized Tesla with tons of room and a massive screen. It’s a premium experience on every level, and we get it cheaper thanks to technology. No noise or air pollution, either.
I don’t have much to critique. Little refinements that I know will happen. Pick up and drop off were satisfactory, over time will become excellent. Grok integration is already impressive, and it’s clear that we’ll eventually be able to just give directions like “pull over around the corner up there.” You can already have Grok update your destination in Robotaxi, it pushes the update to the Robotaxi app on your phone for approval.
I leave the event with more confidence in Tesla’s ability to scale, but also renewed patience. I have a greater appreciation for the intentionality of limitations (service area, times, fleet size) rather than seeing them simply as barriers that have yet to be overcome. I now believe the objective is to build slowly, safely, to critical mass. A tail-risk event is inevitable. The absolute last thing we need is some bad luck on a tail-risk event at an early stage before enough data exists to prove its rarity. That data is accumulating quickly and will become undeniable soon enough.
Huge congrats to Tesla and Elon for this incredible milestone. Decades of work culminating in a life-saving, sustainable, affordable, economically exceptional product. It’s all pretty surreal, a testament to vision and determination. I love this company!
Aviso serio: NO vayáis a @europa_park si luego pensáis volver a @Portaventura_ES.
Colas cortas (max. 30min), la mejor operativa que he visto en mi vida y un parque diseñado para que el visitante disfrute.
No es perfecto... pero joder, qué cerca está 🎢
No soy el único, no?
Hi @Tesla team — we’re Tecnonauta, one of the largest Spanish-language tech channels, and long-time Tesla owners/supporters.
We’ll be in Houston / Starbase filming a major Spanish-language Tesla & future mobility story.
We’re looking for the right Tesla US contact to explore access to Cybertruck for the Houston–Starbase road trip and, if possible, any official Tesla experience around Starbase.
We’re doing the content either way, but it would be much more valuable for the Spanish-speaking audience if we could coordinate it properly with Tesla.
Who would be the right person or team to contact?
¡Gran paso adelante para la comunidad Tesla en España! 🚀
Desde Tesla Owners España hemos comenzado los trámites para enviar una solicitud formal a la @DGTes solicitando la aceleración de la aprobación del FSD Supervised en nuestro país.
Tras la aprobación provisional del RDW en Países Bajos, pedimos que se valide cuanto antes para mejorar la seguridad en nuestras carreteras y reducir la siniestralidad.
Con más de 3.600 socios y más de 60.000 Tesla circulando por España, ¡seguimos trabajando por una movilidad más segura!
¿Apoyáis la iniciativa? Dale ❤️ y comparte para que llegue a más gente.

@TodosElectricos@elonmusk Igual que con el iPhone, muchos teléfonos superan a Apple en tecnología, pero ninguno logra un conjunto tan equilibrado.
Tesla está en la misma liga: hay coches que destacan en partes, pero ninguno ofrece una experiencia global comparable.
New Teslas drive themselves off the line at Giga Berlin
Autonomously navigating the factory premises, they stop by the on-site Supercharger, then park in the outbound lot
Grok can be your tour guide when exploring new places
All while your Tesla drives itself with FSD Supervised, so you can actually enjoy the view
Welcome to the future!
FSD Supervised understands when to exit a toll booth
Using its pillar & side repeater cameras, the car can see the transaction happening – and automatically proceeds once the transaction is complete
Real world AI, baby
If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, @Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.
An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging!
