Tesla deploys its Cybercab in the United States and exhibits it in South Korea

Tesla is accelerating the deployment of its Cybercab robotaxi in the United States, with Cybercab registrations exceeding those of the Model Y in Texas, an extension of the service to Dallas and Fort Worth, and Nevada authorization for 5,000 robotaxis in Las Vegas, while the automaker targets an operating cost of around $0.30 per mile. The program remains under scrutiny, however: the NHTSA is investigating, critics are targeting Autopilot's vision-only approach, and the stock has been under pressure against Waymo. In the United States, the Cybercab is therefore both tested and commercially deployed, including in Detroit alongside Waymo, while in South Korea it is only exhibited, with no sales planned in the country. A European exhibition tour is also announced, without a timeline for rollout on the continent.
