Tesla’s Autonomous Cybercab Units Spotted Leaving Gigafactory Texas
A recent video captured a Tesla Semi loaded with Cybercab units leaving Gigafactory Texas, marking what seems to be the first documented delivery run of Tesla’s autonomous two-seater vehicles. The footage shows multiple Cybercabs securely fastened on a flatbed trailer being transported by a production Tesla Semi, a truck designed to handle a gross combination weight of 82,000 lbs. This event took place at Giga Texas in Austin, where production of Cybercabs has been in full swing since February 2026.
The sighting follows a flurry of activity surrounding Cybercabs at the Austin facility. In late April, drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer spotted around 60 Cybercabs parked in two distinct groups in the factory’s outbound lot, marking the largest concentration observed thus far. Staging units in an outbound lot is a standard procedure before delivery, making the appearance of the Tesla Semi in the footage a natural progression in the delivery process.
This isn’t the first instance of Tesla utilizing its own Semi to transport Tesla products. Since its unveiling in 2017, Elon Musk emphasized that the Semi would be integral to Tesla’s operations. Over the years, Semi prototypes have been spotted carrying various cargoes, including concrete weights and Tesla vehicles being delivered to customers. In 2023, a Semi was even photographed transporting a Cybertruck on a trailer ahead of the vehicle’s launch.
The Cybercab made its public debut at Tesla’s “We, Robot” event on October 10, 2024, at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. Twenty pre-production units provided rides for attendees around the studio lot. Musk announced at the event that Tesla aims to mass-produce the Cybercab before 2027. The first production unit rolled off the Giga Texas assembly line on February 17, 2026, with Musk celebrating the milestone on X by congratulating the Tesla team for achieving this feat.
Tesla’s ambitious production goal is to manufacture 2 million Cybercabs annually once multiple factories reach full capacity, with a target price below $30,000 per unit. The company has outlined plans to expand its robotaxi service to seven cities in the first half of 2026, including Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas. This expansion builds upon the existing unsupervised robotaxi service operating in Austin. Musk has expressed his confidence in the robotaxi network covering between a quarter and half of the United States by the end of the year.
The integration of autonomous Cybercabs into Tesla’s transportation lineup signifies a significant step towards the company’s vision of revolutionizing urban mobility. With production in full swing and expansion plans on the horizon, Tesla is poised to make a lasting impact on the future of transportation.
