GoKawiilTesla to begin selling Cybercab to customers by year-end, executives say
Tesla executives said on the company's third-quarter earnings call that it plans to start selling its steering-wheel-free Cybercab to customers by the end of 2025, starting with a small volume. Currently all Cybercabs produced are going into Tesla's own robotaxi fleet, according to engineering VP Lars Moravy, with outside sales to scale gradually as the company learns about delivery and fleet management. The vehicle is also under federal safety review.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shift suggests Musk's long-stated vision of turning privately owned Teslas into robotaxis via software has not panned out, pushing the company toward a purpose-built vehicle sold directly to buyers instead. Because the Cybercab lacks standard controls, its sale timeline may hinge on the outcome of the regulatory safety investigation, which could delay or restrict rollout regardless of Tesla's own schedule. The announcement also comes alongside another postponement of unsupervised Full Self-Driving, raising questions about the pace of Tesla's broader autonomy ambitions.
- Tesla says Cybercab sales to customers will begin by end of 2025, starting small.
- All current Cybercab production is feeding Tesla's own robotaxi fleet, per VP Lars Moravy.
- Unsupervised Full Self-Driving for customers has been pushed to Q2 next year, another delay.
