Tesla extends rollout of its Cybercab robotaxi in the United States

Tesla continues the expansion of its Cybercab robotaxi in the United States, with service openings in Dallas and Fort Worth, a Texas fleet of 1,204 vehicles and Nevada authorization for 5,000 robotaxis in Las Vegas. The automaker targets an operating cost of around $0.30 per mile and is preparing to reuse the Cybercab inverter on the Model 3 and Model Y. The program remains under regulatory scrutiny, however, with the NHTSA investigating and Tesla having responded to an injunction without disclosing all requested items. Internationally, the Cybercab is exhibited for the first time in South Korea without sales planned, while a European tour begins in Zurich without a service launch schedule.
