Overview
- The Wall Street Journal reports Tesla is building a Gigafactory Texas line intended to produce hundreds of Cybercabs weekly, citing people familiar with the plans.
- Tesla says full production is slated to begin in April after the first production Cybercab was completed in Austin in February.
- Drone and on‑site footage shows dozens of units staged, transported, and positioned for crash testing at Giga Texas, with some test vehicles still fitted with steering wheels.
- Public‑road validation has expanded with fresh Silicon Valley sightings, typically using a safety driver during trials.
- A USDOT display highlighted the two‑seat, steering‑wheel‑free layout with a large center screen, an added C‑pillar camera, and Braille on emergency and door controls, as Tesla promotes an FSD‑based robotaxi with a potential sub‑$30,000 consumer variant and cautions the initial ramp will be slow.
