"Tesla Cybercab units are being tested publicly on roads throughout various areas of the United States, and a recent sighting of the vehicle's charging port has certainly stimulated some discussions throughout the community. The Cybercab is geared toward being a fully-autonomous vehicle, void of a steering wheel or pedals, only operating with the use of the Full Self-Driving suite. Everything from the driving itself to the charging to the cleaning is intended to be operated autonomously."
"The port is located in the rear of the vehicle and features a manual door and latch for plug-in, and the video shows an employee connecting to a Tesla Supercharger. Now, it is important to remember these are prototype vehicles, and not the final product. Additionally, Tesla has said it plans to introduce wireless induction charging in the future, but it is not currently available, so these units need to have some ability to charge."
Tesla Cybercab prototypes are being road-tested across the United States and are designed for full autonomy with no steering wheel or pedals and operation via Full Self-Driving. The vehicles are intended to handle driving, charging, and cleaning autonomously. A recent sighting revealed a rear charging port with a manual door and latch and showed an employee connecting a unit to a Tesla Supercharger. These units are prototypes and not final production models. Tesla plans to introduce wireless induction charging in the future, but wired charging is currently required for maintenance, hub downtime, and prototype operation.
