Cybercab got a little more Tesla-made. The first Cybercab using Tesla’s own cathode material has now been built, with it coming from Tesla’s in-house cathode plant in Texas. Cathode material is one of the most expensive parts of a battery, so bringing that production in-house matters a lot when... show more

Tesla just brought one of the most expensive parts of a battery in-house. Giga Texas is now running North America’s first large-scale cathode factory, producing the critical material used inside Tesla’s 4680 cells. That means less dependence on overseas suppliers, tighter control over cost and a process Tesla says has 74% better greenhouse-gas efficiency than tier-one suppliers. Those cells feed Cybertruck, Cybercab, Semi and whatever comes next. Turns out building the car was only part of the job. Tesla / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

Cybercab was never meant to be a regular car. It was engineered from the ground up as a dedicated robotaxi. Built for autonomy from day one. No driver layout. It's designed around uptime, passenger comfort, and cost per mile. Fewer parts. Less complexity. More time moving people. That's what purpose-built for autonomy actually means.

Cybercab can change the whole emissions equation. Tesla projects it could nearly halve emissions per mile compared to Model 3 and Model Y. The reason? It actually works for a living. Most personal cars sit parked around 95% of the time. Cybercab does the opposite. Pick up. Drop off. Repeat. One car doing the work of several. Fewer cars needed. More people moved. Less waste per mile. That is how autonomy starts to look very useful. Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

A clean-energy car shouldn’t leave a polluting battery problem behind. Tesla’s goal is for no battery to ever end up in landfill. Across its U.S. operations, more than 90% of key materials like nickel and cobalt are already being recovered through recycling. Meaning less battery waste, less risk of pollution and less need to mine and process fresh materials to replace what was thrown away. In 2025, Tesla processed around 3,000 metric tons this way, enough material for roughly 9,000 Model Ys. The battery gets another life. The planet gets one less thing dumped into it.

Turns out, the 3,000 Terafab jobs are just the opening act. Elon says they’re only for phase 1 of a 10-phase build. With investment potentially passing $100 billion, Terafab is being built to make the huge number of chips Tesla and SpaceX expect to need for FSD, Cybercab, Optimus, Starlink and Starship. So yes, 3,000 jobs is a lot. It’s also just the beginning. Tesla @Optimus Starlink SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

When Cybercab becomes available, people are going to do the mental math very quickly. Around $30K for a car that can drive itself, charge wirelessly, cost very little per mile, and skip most of the normal car-owner headaches. Then it gets more interesting. Sleep on the way. Work on the way. Send it on errands. Let it pick someone up. Let it earn when you are not using it. For elderly people, disabled passengers, busy families, and anyone tired of parking, Cybercab starts making a ridiculous amount of sense. Everyone will want one eventually. Some people just need to see it working first. Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

Grok is about to get a lot more passports. Tesla is bringing its in-car xAI assistant to India, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Which makes sense, because a car assistant gets much more useful when it can handle real-world chaos in real languages. Routes. Questions. Local navigation. Random curiosity from the passenger seat. Possibly one “unhinged” personality too many. The car used to answer with warning lights and a navigation screen. Now it is getting a personality that does more than beep politely. It actually talks back with a bit more brain behind it. Tesla Grok xAI / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

Tesla Cybercab production starts in less than 100 days from today, which will use Tesla's revolutionary unboxed manufacturing process for the first time. One Cybercab will be able to roll off the production line in under 10 seconds versus 34 seconds for Model Y, with a long term cycle time goal of ~5 seconds.

Uruguay was already acting like a Tesla market before Tesla officially arrived. High EV adoption. Expensive gasoline. Roughly 98% renewable electricity. Hundreds of grey-market Teslas already on the road. So now Tesla is making it official. Factory warranties. Service. Charging infrastructure. This is Tesla’s third direct South American market after Chile and Colombia. Not the biggest country. But definitely one of the ones that already understood the assignment.

Tesla and SpaceX are about to need chips faster than the world can produce. The answer? Terafab. A chip factory in Texas so huge it will dwarf landmarks like the Pentagon and Apple Park, with a goal of producing more than 1 terawatt of compute every year. The point is to stop future Tesla and SpaceX growth from being limited by whoever can supply them. Elon says Terafab will eventually be worth more than any other building on Earth.

A 45-minute commute sounds a lot less annoying when you can literally sleep through it. Cybercab’s seats recline surprisingly far, and with no steering wheel or pedals, there’s nothing inside pretending someone still needs to drive. You get in, stretch out and let the car deal with the road. That’s the part of autonomy people will probably appreciate very quickly. Traffic can be Tesla’s problem now.

Very proud to say that 204 members are going all in and buying a Tesla CyberCab and a Tesla Optimus. Some are buying a lot more than one, They are not to be on the sidelines shouting how “that is not going to work” they going to work on the opportunity of an epoch. They are on the way part one of two parts of the Dynamic Duo.

I still can’t believe the entire outer body of the Cybercab is PLASTIC. I think this is the first production Tesla vehicle built this way. Tesla molds the COLOR directly into the panels using reaction injection molding. Far from a traditional paint shop. A process that can take hours with normal automotive paint can now take minutes. Tesla says this cuts manufacturing emissions for those parts by around 35% and eliminates the paint VOCs from the traditional process. And before anyone says, “But what about safety?” The plastic exterior is not the crash structure. The massive front and rear giga castings underneath are doing that job. I rode in the Cybercab myself. Trust me, it does NOT feel cheap at all. It actually makes you realize what Tesla is trying to do here. Fewer parts. Fewer manufacturing steps. No traditional paint shop. Faster production. Lower cost. The unboxed process… This is so much more than Tesla just using plastic to make a cheap car. Tesla is completely rethinking how you build millions of robotaxis.

You probably need a bigger showroom door when nearly a full year of sales gets beaten in six months. Tesla just opened its new western Japan flagship at GranFront Osaka, right next to one of the country’s busiest retail and transit hubs. After selling roughly 10,600 cars in Japan in 2025, Tesla reached about 12,000 in just the first half of 2026. More visibility, easier test drives and a much bigger physical presence exactly when Japanese demand is picking up. That test-drive queue is going to get interesting.

Tesla took Cybercab to the National Federation of the Blind’s convention. Honestly, probably the best place in the world to show off a driverless car. These are the people who could gain real independence from it. Braille controls. Room for service animals. Space for assistive devices. Seats at a better height for wheelchair transfers. A car that drives itself is impressive. A car that helps someone go where they want, when they want, without needing a driver? That is freedom. Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

Picture 160,000 Model Y batteries. Now imagine all of that helping keep Australia’s grid running. That’s roughly the 10 GWh of Tesla Megapack storage now operating across the country. The batteries can soak up excess renewable power, hold it, then send it back when demand jumps or generation drops. Wind and solar get a lot more useful when the grid can actually save some for later. Tesla / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

Tesla’s new Megapack factory in Houston will be their most capable yet, with an annual production capacity of 50 GWh—25% more than their other two Megapack factories. Once fully ramped, Tesla’s three Megafactories will produce a combined 130 GWh of battery energy storage a year, enough to power ~50 million homes. That's nearly 4.2x more battery energy storage than Tesla deployed in all of 2024. The Houston facility will be the first to manufacture the all-new Megapack 3 in late 2026. This product will partly source LFP cells from Tesla's brand new LFP manufacturing plant in Nevada (next to Giga Nevada). The Nevada facility will begin production in the coming months, making it the first time Tesla will produce and source LFP cells domestically — and from its own operations. Tesla Energy is just getting started🔋

In light of the Cybercab event this week, here are my expectations: Of course the first official Robotaxi rides in a Cybercab will happen. Good chance it's limited to a certain portion of the geofence, especially for the launch event to avoid any edge cases I think Elon will say a few words. Likely nothing we don't already know - thanking the teams and explaining the importance of and vision for Cybercab Frankly though what happens at the event doesn't matter. It's what the Cybercab service looks like the following day. I think best case scenario would be Tesla having ~25 active Cybercabs operating in Austin for a majority of the operating hours (6A - 10P). I think we all need to be prepared for somehwere around ~5-10 Cybercabs to be active for a week or so after the event and then a slow build from there While we don't know how many active Robotaxis Tesla has in Austin, we can guess it's ~50-75 on any given day. I think increasing that fleet by up to 50% is the most we should be hoping for. I think the survey going around where ~50% of people are expecting > 100 Cybercabs to be deployed is overly optimistic. Not that it can't happen, and I'd love to be wrong, it would just be a stark departure from everything we've seen/heard so far This event shouldn't be viewed as a scaling announcement, but rather a beginning of operations and celebration of the Cybercab. I know Elon said over the weekend Tesla is "about to" flood Austin with Cybercabs, but in his mind that could mean later this year with V15, not this week Given Ashok's recent commentary about why they're going broad instead of deep (more different cities instead of higher fleet volume in each), I'd be more impressed with Cybercab starting operations in the other active Robotaxi cities in the following week or two after the event. To me, that would be a great signal that the validation is going well with Cybercab more generally, not just in the Austin geofence where Tesla has extensive data So while this is a huge milestone (no wheel, no pedals, purpose built for autonomy, cost profile, attention-grabbing design etc.), I'm still not expecting to see hundreds of Robotaxis in Austin or other cities until later this year or early '27 $TSLA

BREAKING: The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an audit into about 1,000 Tesla Cybercabs. NHTSA says Cybercab has no permanently attached steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal or mirrors. It will review how Tesla certified the vehicle and why Tesla determined that some federal safety standards did not apply. NHTSA is auditing a car because it has no controls for a human driver. But that is the entire point: Cybercab was designed from day one to drive itself. • Tesla Robotaxis have driven one million miles without a human driver. • The first 380,000 driverless miles had no notable safety incidents. • Tesla reported three incidents in NHTSA’s latest data. In all three, another vehicle hit a stopped Tesla Robotaxi. In these incidents, the problem was human error, not the autonomous Tesla. That is exactly what Cybercab is designed to remove from our roads.
