Tesla is gearing up for the mass production of its highly anticipated Cybercab, a groundbreaking purpose-built Robotaxi vehicle, set to begin next month. The production process is currently in full swing at Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas, with recent drone footage capturing a significant increase in the number of Cybercabs being tested on the property.
The footage revealed a total of 25 units of the Cybercab across various locations at the Gigafactory Texas, indicating a significant ramp-up in testing and validation activities. The vehicles were seen parked in formation outside the factory exit, showcasing their sleek, autonomous-only design with no traditional controls. Additional units were spotted at the crash testing facility and the end-of-line area for final checks.
This surge in production follows the milestone of the first production Cybercab rolling off the line ahead of schedule in mid-February 2026. This marked the beginning of low-volume builds on the dedicated manufacturing line, designed to streamline the production process and reduce costs.
Industry experts interpret the increase in visible units as a sign that Tesla has transitioned into higher-volume test manufacturing, with plans for full-scale production set to begin in the coming weeks. The Cybercab, priced at under $30,000 and designed for use in robotaxi fleets, represents Tesla’s bold move towards scalable autonomy and robotics.
Enthusiasts have expressed excitement over the progress towards the deployment of the Cybercab, despite challenges such as software development, regulatory approvals, and supply chain scaling. The increased factory activity at Gigafactory Texas reflects Tesla’s commitment to turning the Cybercab vision into a reality.
As production continues to ramp up at Gigafactory Texas, the upcoming months will be crucial in determining how quickly the Cybercab will hit the roads in the US and beyond. The vehicle’s innovative design and reliance on Tesla’s vision-based Full Self-Driving technology signal a new era in autonomous transportation, with the Cybercab poised to revolutionize the way we think about car ownership.
