"The single biggest expansion in production will be the Cybercab, which starts production in Q2 next year. That's really a vehicle that's optimized for full autonomy. It, in fact, does not have a steering wheel or pedals and is really an enduring optimization on minimizing cost per mile for fully considered cost per mile of operation."
"Tesla's Cybercab was unveiled last October as the company's two-seater, affordable option that would ultimately be the car used for autonomous travel. It was initially slated for production in late 2025 or early 2026. Tesla is ramping up its hiring for the Cybercab production team However, Tesla has finally said it will start production of the Cybercab in Q2 2026, a more concrete date for the company, as it has moved the entire project forward in recent weeks by testing it at the Fremont Test Track and conducting crash safety assessments."
"In that quote, Musk also put a rumor that has been circulating within the community to rest. Some started to speculate whether Cybercab would be sold with a steering wheel and pedals, as many of the elements of the car seemed to hint toward not being exclusively autonomous, including side mirrors being equipped, among other things."
Tesla set a Q2 2026 start for Cybercab production. The Cybercab is a two-seater, affordable vehicle optimized for full autonomy and designed to minimize cost per mile. Production preparations include increased hiring, testing at the Fremont Test Track, and crash safety assessments. Earlier timelines targeted late 2025 or early 2026, but the schedule moved to a more concrete Q2 2026 start. The vehicle is intended to operate without a steering wheel or pedals. Images and community speculation prompted questions about optional human controls, but the production design emphasizes fully autonomous operation.
