AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla's purpose-built robotaxi is rolling off the line in growing numbers, with more than 100 Cybercab units now spotted staged in the outbound lots at Gigafactory Texas. Drone footage and parking-lot counts have charted a steady climb — from roughly 60 units in late May to about 85, and then past 100 by mid-June — offering clear visual proof that the unboxed production process is well beyond its tentative early-year start.
The accumulation matters because the Cybercab is not a modified existing vehicle but a clean-sheet, two-seat design with no steering wheel or pedals, built specifically for autonomous ride-hailing. Seeing it pile up in volume is the strongest signal yet that Tesla is closing the gap between prototype and fleet.
A Ramp That Tracks the Plan
The first Cybercab rolled off the line at Giga Texas in mid-February, and the count has climbed steadily since. That trajectory lines up with Tesla's own stated ambitions for the back half of the year, and it follows the company's recent move to show off its Cybercab mass-production progress as launch signals mount. The unboxed method — assembling major modules in parallel before bringing them together — is designed precisely for this kind of high-volume, low-cost output.
Tesla has paired the hardware ramp with a steady drumbeat of regulatory progress. The recent NHTSA decision to drop the brake-pedal mandate cleared one of the last federal hurdles standing between a pedal-free design and public roads, removing a key question mark over how quickly the Cybercab can enter commercial service.
