The Cybercab, which is detailed for the year 2030, has an exceptionally low cost of operation, which is something Tesla revealed when it unveiled the vehicle a year and a half ago at the "We, Robot" event in Los Angeles. Musk said on numerous occasions that Tesla plans to hit the $0.20 cents per mile mark with the Cybercab, describing a "clear path" to achieving that figure and emphasizing it is the "full considered" cost, which would include energy, maintenance, cleaning, depreciation, and insurance.

By combining all the different components that usually sit outside an EV's battery pack into a single unit, the auto giant says it managed to cut charging times and reduce weight while boosting power and range. The solution is goes by the name Intelligent Battery Integrated System, and the first working prototype has been fitted to a Peugeot E-3008 crossover, which uses Stellantis's STLA Medium platform-the same that underpins the latest generation Jeep Compass.
