The Cybercab is a two-door coupe that was revealed eventually 12 months’s “We, Robotic” occasion. It will have the identical computer systems and sensors that energy Tesla’s present “Full Self Driving” (FSD) software program in passenger autos just like the Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y, however this time it is going to supposedly be totally autonomous. (Personal autos with FSD right now require driver supervision and should not autonomous). It will not have pedals or a steering wheel, Musk mentioned.

Although the Cybercab’s underlying software program would be the similar, its manufacturing course of can be vastly completely different, the corporate has beforehand mentioned. It plans to make use of a novel “Unboxed” technique the place completely different components of the car are assembled individually, after which they arrive collectively on the finish, not like a standard shifting meeting line.
“Manufacturing for the Cybercab is nearer to a high-volume shopper electronics gadget than a automotive manufacturing line,” Musk mentioned throughout the shareholder assembly. “We should always be capable of obtain a internet results of lower than a ten-second cycle time, principally a unit each ten seconds,” he mentioned, referring to an unusually quick manufacturing course of.
Musk added that Tesla may theoretically construct as much as 5 million autos a 12 months due to sooner manufacturing—although, as historical past has repeatedly proven, Musk’s daring forecasts are finest taken with a considerable serving of salt.

The manufacturing replace got here after Tesla shareholders overwhelmingly voted in favor of Musk’s $1 trillion compensation plan. To get his paycheck, although, scaling robotaxis to 10 million operational models within the subsequent ten years is a key goal, together with promoting 20 million passenger autos. Each of these are extraordinarily bold targets.
It’s too early to gauge how a lot potential the robotaxi enterprise has to ship earnings, however Musk now not less than has the motivation to stay at Tesla for the foreseeable future and attempt to ship what he has lengthy been promising.
