Tesla Cybercab Sightings Broaden Well Outside of Austin with Autonomy in Focus

Tesla’s robotaxi push faces scrutiny as analysts say a meaningful unsupervised rollout could lift the stock.

  • Tesla Inc. is holding an invite-only event in Austin, Texas, today to share details on its purpose-built Cybercab driverless vehicle and formally add it to the company's robotaxi service.
  • Designed as a two-seater with butterfly doors, the Cybercab features no steering wheel or pedals, marking Tesla's evolution into artificial intelligence products since its late 2024 unveiling.
  • Ahead of the event, Tesla registered 45 Cybercabs with Texas authorities as of late Wednesday, and video clips shared on X showed the vehicles circulating on Austin streets without a driver.
  • Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo maintains a significant lead, operating about 4,000 autonomous vehicles across 14 U.S. cities, while Tesla's Texas robotaxi fleet consists of 420 vehicles, mostly Model Ys.
  • Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco said a meaningful rollout is key for stock momentum, though uncertainty persists over whether Tesla will announce immediate commercial service or limited demonstration rides.
