Tesla develops its Cybercab robotaxi and transfers technology to the Model 3
Tesla continues developing its Cybercab robotaxi, with expansion of its robotaxi fleet in Texas, tests in Detroit, and transfer of technical elements such as a new inverter and a modular battery to the Model 3 and Model Y. The program remains surrounded by questions, between an NHTSA investigation, refusal to disclose certain elements, a drop in Tesla's stock, and a gradual halt to Cybertruck production in Texas to free up capacity. In the United States, coverage focuses mainly on deployment, testing, regulation, and financial markets; in South Korea and China, the Cybercab is displayed statically without planned sales, while a European exhibition tour starts in Zurich without a service launch schedule. In Canada, articles also mention Model 3 import quotas and Waymo's interest in Alberta.
