Tesla's Cybercab has begun production. Let's see if it can truly drive itself this time.

      Tesla has successfully reached the production milestone for the Cybercab, but the race to achieve full autonomous driving is still ongoing.

      Tesla has a history of making announcements ahead of readiness. On April 24, 2026, Elon Musk shared a POV video of a steering-wheel-free Cybercab departing from Gigafactory Texas, creating quite a stir online.

      Musk has verified that mass production of the autonomous robotaxi has commenced. However, the company still needs to tackle the more challenging aspect.

      What exactly has Tesla created?

      For those who are unfamiliar, the Cybercab is a two-seat vehicle equipped with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving neural network. It has been deliberately designed without a steering wheel or foot pedals, and instead of side mirrors, it utilizes multiple cameras.

      The initial production units of the Cybercab began to come off the assembly line in February 2026. Nevertheless, regular mass production started in April 2026. The expected pricing is anticipated to be below $30,000, which would make it an affordable option in the robotaxi network.

      So, what’s the downside?

      The existence of the Cybercab hinges on one key factor: its capacity for self-driving. However, Tesla has not completely resolved this issue yet. Currently, the supervised robotaxi fleet operated by the automaker has a crash rate approximately four times higher than that of human drivers, at about one incident every 57,000 miles compared to one every 229,000 miles.

      Musk has acknowledged that the software can occasionally cause vehicles to become “scared to move” or to get stuck in repetitive loops. For the time being, unsupervised FSD for consumer vehicles has been pushed to the fourth quarter of 2026, and this deadline is being approached with considerable caution.

      This product milestone has been announced during a period when Tesla's global sales have declined for the second consecutive year. The Cybercab currently represents the company's most significant effort to reverse this trend. However, ensuring it functions autonomously and safely is the critical factor that matters to millions of commuters.
