Tesla's Cybercab Fleet Grows to 45 Vehicles Ahead of Austin Launch
TSLA sits 21% above its 52-week low of $297.38.
Summary
Tesla's purpose-built Cybercab fleet in Texas has expanded from seven to 45 vehicles, now comprising about 14% of the 314 authorized vehicles under Tesla Robotaxi, LLC. This marks a tangible step toward commercializing the autonomous ride-hailing business, with the Sept. 3 Austin launch event serving as the backdrop. The Cybercab is distinct from the modified Model Ys currently used for Robotaxi service, and its growing presence signals Tesla's transition to a dedicated autonomous vehicle platform. While 45 vehicles do not yet establish a scaled robotaxi operation, the fleet's expansion ahead of the launch event is a concrete development that investors will watch closely. The company's latest quarterly filing noted production of the Cybercab has begun, with engineering test drives and employee rides already underway.
