Tesla Cybercab Self-Driving Car Enters Production
Tesla has officially announced that the Cybercab self-driving car has begun production at its Texas Superfactory. It is the world's first mass-produced L5 autonomous vehicle natively designed without a steering wheel, pedals, or rearview mirrors. Positioned for ride-sharing as a Robotaxi, it features a two-door, two-seat design with gull-wing doors, a stainless steel body, and operates entirely on the FSD full self-driving system.
The core configuration utilizes a pure-vision Tesla Vision system, equipped with eight high-definition cameras and the FSD V14 end-to-end model, with full hardware redundancy. Tesla claims its safety is 10 times that of human driving.
The interior is minimalist, featuring only two seats and a large central touchscreen, with no dashboard or driver's seat. The target cost is $25,000-$30,000 (approximately 170,000-210,000 RMB), with a range of about 320 kilometers, focusing on frequent short-distance urban travel.
The first production vehicle without a steering wheel rolled off the line in February, and scaled production began in April. Tesla has achieved self-certification compliance, bypassing the annual 2,500-vehicle autonomous driving exemption quota set by the US NHTSA, allowing for unlimited production expansion.
Musk stated that initial production will be slow, but will ramp up exponentially by the end of the year, with a long-term plan for an annual production capacity of 2 million vehicles.
