Tesla accelerates Cybercab rollout and halts Cybertruck production

Tesla is intensifying the deployment of its Cybercab robotaxi in the United States, with the launch of an unsupervised service in Fort Worth and testing in Detroit, while also showcasing the vehicle internationally. In the US, the program has raised questions regarding timelines, safety, and a federal investigation, with Tesla's stock falling 10.8% amid secrecy surrounding filings related to the Cybercab. In South Korea and China, the Cybercab is on display without planned sales or demonstrations, while in Europe a tour begins in Zurich without a scheduled launch date. Tesla is gradually halting Cybertruck production at its Texas facility to free up capacity for robotaxis, raising prices and facing eleven recall campaigns over two years.
