Overview
- The EPA issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Cybercab and the filing records an introduction into commerce on May 29, 2026, which legally clears the vehicle for sale and road use from an emissions standpoint.
- Public EPA documents list a 163 kW (219 hp) front motor, a roughly 47.6–48 kWh lithium-ion pack at 326 volts, a 3,113 lb curb weight and an EPA lab efficiency of 165 Wh/mi.
- Lab testing in the filing shows an unadjusted combined range of about 418.2 miles which, after the EPA’s common adjustment factor, translates to an estimated real-world window-sticker range near 292–293 miles.
- Tesla has begun limited production at Gigafactory Texas and has pitched the Cybercab as a low-cost two-seat robotaxi under $30,000 with plans to scale to hundreds per week then much larger volumes over time.
- Regulatory and safety questions remain unresolved: the EPA certificate does not authorize unsupervised operation, the vehicle’s steer-by-wire, wheelless design raises FMVSS and state compliance questions, and broad city- and state-level approvals will determine when large-scale driverless service can start.
