"With production scheduled for less than 100 days, Musk broke down what people should expect from the initial manufacturing phases, being cautiously optimistic about what the early stages will likely entail: ...initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of production ramp is inversely proportionate to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow, but eventually end up being insanely fast."
"This is especially pertinent because the Cybercab is expected to be built without a steering wheel or pedals, and although some executives have said they would build the car with those things if it were necessary. However, Musk has maintained that the Cybercab will not have either of those things: it will have two seats and a screen, and that's it."
Cybercab production is scheduled to begin at Giga Texas in under 100 days. The vehicle is designed specifically for a self-driving Robotaxi ride-hailing service and is expected to support Unsupervised Self-Driving within the same timeframe. The Cybercab will not include a steering wheel or pedals and will feature two seats and a screen only. Initial production will follow an S-curve, with very slow early output because most parts and steps are new, followed by a rapid acceleration in build rate. Past vehicle ramps experienced severe early challenges during Model 3 production.
