Tesla Cybercab: robotaxis in the US, exhibitions abroad, and NHTSA investigation
Tesla is accelerating its Cybercab program with an operating cost target of approximately $0.30 per mile, a Texas robotaxi fleet expanded to 1,204 vehicles, an extension to Fort Worth, and tests in Detroit. The manufacturer is also transferring technical elements from the Cybercab to the Model 3 and Model Y, including a simplified inverter and a more modular and repairable battery. In the United States, commercial deployment and testing are intensifying, but the program remains criticized compared to Waymo and is subject to an NHTSA investigation; Tesla responded to a subpoena without disclosing one point. Abroad, situations differ: South Korea and China host only static exhibitions with no planned sales, while a European tour begins in Switzerland without a launch schedule.
