Tesla Cybercab: Deployment, NHTSA Investigation and Exhibitions

Tesla continues to deploy its Cybercab robotaxi in the United States, with its Texas fleet expanding and tests being conducted in Detroit, while the program faces an investigation by the NHTSA and criticism from investors. The manufacturer is also exhibiting the vehicle in South Korea, China, and via a European tour, indicating that some Cybercab technologies, such as the inverter and a modular battery, will be reused on the Model 3 and Model Y. In the US, sub-events cover commercial deployment, safety, and stock market reaction; in South Korea and China, they are static exhibitions with no sales planned, and in Switzerland, it is part of a European tour without a service launch schedule.
