Tesla Cybercab Rolls Off Production Line; Robotaxi Mass Production Imminent

[New Vehicle Launch] Tesla's first steering-wheel-free Robotaxi, the Cybercab, rolled off the production line at its Texas factory in mid-February 2026.

Core Development: Cybercab Eliminates Steering Wheel and Pedals, Designed Exclusively for Autonomous Ride-Hailing

The Cybercab is a two-seater all-electric vehicle that completely removes the steering wheel, brake pedals, and side mirrors, retaining only a central touchscreen for user interaction. Its body is constructed from a special paint-free material to reduce manufacturing costs.

Key Metrics: $0.20 per Mile Operating Cost, Annual Production Target of 2 Million Units

The target price range is $25,000–30,000 (approximately RMB 173,000–210,000), with an operating cost of just $0.20 per mile (about RMB 1.40)—less than one-fifth that of current ride-hailing services. Mass production is scheduled to begin in April 2026, ramping up to a production speed of one unit every 5–10 seconds, targeting an annual capacity of 2 million units.

Strategic Foundation: FSD Safety Data Serves as Critical Enabler for Commercialization

Tesla revealed that under FSD Supervised mode, the average interval between serious collisions reaches 5.3 million miles, significantly outperforming human-driven vehicles. This safety record provides crucial technical validation for regulatory approval and large-scale deployment.
