Tesla deploys its Cybercab robotaxis and reorganizes its production

In the United States, Tesla has increased its robotaxi fleet to 1,204 vehicles in Texas and expanded its supervisor‑free service to Fort Worth, while testing Cybercabs in Detroit; the automaker also announced the gradual shutdown of Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas to free up capacity for robotaxis. The program remains marked by safety and timeline concerns, an NHTSA investigation to which Tesla responded without disclosing all details, and a 10.8% drop in its stock. The Cybercab design is evolving toward a more repairable modular battery and a new inverter reusable on the Model 3 and Model Y. Internationally, the Cybercab is mainly displayed without sales or service launch: in South Korea and China these are static displays, while a 12‑stop European tour starts in Zurich with no service schedule; in Canada, Model 3 buyers are awaiting import quotas.
