🚨 Cybercab’s biggest advantage over Waymo might not just be the AI. It could be how the whole car is built. FutureAzA points to Tesla’s unboxed process, where things like brake-by-wire, huge castings, and a structural battery make the car much simpler to assemble! Tesla’s long-term goal? Build one... Cybercab every 5 seconds, using about half the production-line space. And these things are being designed to work, a lot! Think 300K–500K+ miles, with simpler parts that can be replaced when needed. Waymo is adding autonomy to existing cars. Tesla is building the car around autonomy from the ground up. That difference could matter a lot once the race shifts from who can make it work to who can build millions of them cheaply. $TSLAshow more

@FutureAZA "Part goes bad you replace it." The way cars used to be!

Ledge Andary1 day ago

@FutureAZA The manufacturing angle is huge. Fewer parts and a simpler assembly path should matter a lot once this scales.

Brandon LaBianco1 day ago

@FutureAZA Maybe but the AI is definitely a big advantage as well. pure camera means less data through the ai training models. AI compute is super important.

@FutureAZA This just makes so much sense now that we’re seeing it.

@FutureAZA Actually, no.

@FutureAZA It the fact Tesla build a car completely vertically integrate no supply chain to compete w other vendor even chips, think what chip demand will be like when robo everything ramps up, what will stop any company supply chain ! Uber has 0 capability to build or deploy

@FutureAZA Rule 1: the winner of this isn't the best driver, it's the best factory. Everyone keeps grading the software.

Steph Debour1 day ago

@FutureAZA The factory was always the product, and Cybercab is the first car designed to prove Elon’s old line that Tesla’s real edge is the machine that builds the machine.

Even my kids know that in a world full of Tesla Robotaxis, Waymo is dunzo. It’s really not that complicated. Waymo needs expensive LiDAR, radar, cameras, specialized hardware, detailed maps, and a massive amount of infrastructure just to operate in certain areas. Tesla’s approach is completely different. Cameras are cheap. Tesla can mass-produce vehicles at a scale Waymo can’t come close to, use the same AI system across millions of cars, collect massive amounts of real-world driving data, and improve the entire fleet through software updates. That’s where the economics become almost impossible to compete with. The cheaper you can build the car, the cheaper you can operate it, and the more vehicles you can put on the road, the cheaper you can eventually make every ride. Waymo might prove Robotaxis can work. Tesla’s goal is to make them cheap enough and build enough of them to be everywhere. That’s the difference people still don’t understand. This isn’t just about who has the better Robotaxi today. It’s about who can build millions of them, drive down the cost per mile, and scale across the world. Even my kids understand the end game. Tesla Robotaxis are going to be everywhere. In the world where Tesla Robotaxis are flooded all around the world, it will very difficult for Waymo to survive.

🚨 Cybercab might not be the cheapest car Tesla can build, but Cern Basher thinks that’s missing the point! Tesla seems to be designing it around one thing: how cheap can this thing be over its entire life? If a Cybercab can handle 500K+ miles of Robotaxi duty, spending a little more upfront on the battery, materials, and durability starts to make a lot more sense! It’s kind of like Starship, build it tougher, use it longer, and spread the cost across way more trips. $TSLA

🚨 There’s been a lot of noise around Cybercab and NHTSA, but Cern Basher thinks the situation is being way overcomplicated! His point is that Tesla has been talking with regulators and sharing data from day one. Cybercab was built specifically for autonomy, no steering wheel, no pedals, and Tesla’s position is that it doesn’t need the 2,500-vehicle exemption people keep talking about. Then there’s the economics. Cern points to estimates of around $18K per Cybercab vs. $125K for a Waymo vehicle. And if Cybercab can really handle 500K miles, that cost gap starts looking even more interesting. $TSLA

🚨 Tesla’s Cybercab rollout might be turning into a regulatory fight just as much as a tech race. Jo Bhakdi thinks NHTSA’s proposed rule could move forward around year-end, potentially giving Tesla a clearer path to scale Cybercab. And he doesn’t think the timing of Tesla’s launch was random. His theory is Tesla waited until the public comment period closed before making its bigger move, knowing competitors would push back hard. Jo expects Waymo and Uber to fight this, especially if Tesla gets a path to scale beyond a 2,500-car limit. Building Cybercab is one thing. Getting the rules that let Tesla deploy it at massive scale could be the real battle now. $TSLA

🚨 FSD Is Still a Long Way From Becoming a Commodity! Jo Bhakdi thinks people are getting way ahead of themselves when they say self-driving tech will eventually become interchangeable. If autonomy were that easy to copy, we’d probably have a lot more Teslas and Waymos by now. And Tesla doesn’t necessarily need Uber to scale Robotaxi. Users can come from platforms like X, while fleet operations could be handled by other partners. Even if AGI makes autonomy easier to solve, putting that intelligence into millions of cars and getting regulatory approval is a whole different challenge. Tesla’s biggest autonomy risk might not be someone catching up. It might simply be how long scaling takes. $TSLA

The Cybercab is aiming to produce 2 million units per year. Let this sink in. Today, Tesla produces about ~1.7 million vehicles per year total, across its entire lineup. And now Tesla is preparing to outproduce that with one single vehicle, a fully autonomous one. This is Elon and Tesla going ALL-IN on autonomy. Production is scheduled to start April 2026 at Giga Texas, with volume ramping throughout the year. And as of early 2026, Cybercab prototypes are already being tested around the U.S. The Tesla Cybercab is built from the ground up for unsupervised autonomy. There is no steering wheel and no pedals, just cameras, AI, and Tesla’s custom inference computers. No lidar and radar like other companies, just pure vision and software. Elon put it best on the Q3 2024 earnings call: “It’s not just a revolutionary vehicle design, but a revolution in vehicle manufacturing that is also coming with the Cybercab.” That quote matters a lot bc that means the entire way a vehicle is manufactured is changing with the Cybercab. Tesla is designing what Elon calls “the machine that builds the machine.” The Cybercab uses Tesla’s unboxed manufacturing process, where major sections are built in parallel instead of one long assembly line. There are fewer parts, less steps & cost, and faster scale. That’s how you make 2 million Cybercabs per year possible. FYI, this is not going to be easy though. Elon has been brutally honest about production for many years: • “Prototypes are easy, production is hard.” • “The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is poorly understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes.” • “For cars, it’s maybe 100 times harder to design the manufacturing system than the car itself.” He reinforced this again in January 2026 when talking about Cybercab and Optimus on 𝕏: “Initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportional 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 the key thing most people miss about Tesla manufacturing. Early output will be slow by design. Almost everything is new like the vehicle architecture, factory layout, AI hardware, and manufacturing flow. But once it works and clicks, it begins to scale hard. Tesla already proved they can do this. They survived Model 3 production hell. They turned Model Y into the BEST selling car in the world, of any kind. They ramped Cybertruck, which has over 30,000+ unique parts, to meaningful volume. Elon summed it up perfectly in 2024: “Compared to the insane pain of reaching high volume, positive margin production, prototypes are a piece of cake.” That’s why Tesla makes manufacturing look easy bc they already earned the scars from the last vehicle lineups. The Cybercab is aiming to be: 1/ Under $30,000 price 2/ ~$0.20 per mile operating cost 3/ 200+ mile range 4/ Up to 5x utilization vs personal cars 5/ Designed to run nearly nonstop 24/7 This is what you call manufacturing + AI + autonomy converging at scale. The competitors are still showing prototypes and demos, while Tesla is building new production lines, expanding factories, and actually building the product. I remember when Elon told me in the past that one of Tesla’s key advantage long term was going to be manufacturing technology. I get it now.

New video of Tesla's revolutionary unboxed manufacturing process for the Cybercab from the launch event. The production line is designed so that one Cybercab can roll off the line in under 10 seconds, with a long term cycle time goal of 5 seconds, compared to ~34 seconds for a Model Y.

Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet could start growing pretty quickly from here! Cern Basher is modeling what happens if autonomous miles keep growing around 17% every week. Based on Ashok’s update of roughly 145K miles in one week, that could mean around 137 cars averaging 150 miles a day. But here’s where it gets interesting: as the miles keep compounding, Tesla has to keep adding cars faster just to keep up. At 100 miles per car per day, Cern’s model gets to roughly 2,000–3,000 Robotaxis by year-end! Eventually, the problem might flip from “Can Tesla scale Robotaxi?” to “Can Tesla build Cybercabs fast enough?” $TSLA

Elon Musk explains how Tesla’s Cybercab fleet will work: “Think of Tesla like some combination of Airbnb and Uber. There’ll be some number of cars that Tesla owns itself and operates in the fleet, and then there’ll be a bunch of cars owned by the end user. That end user can add or subtract their car from the fleet whenever they want. They can decide if they only want the car to be used by friends and family, by five-star users, or by anyone at any time. They could have the car come back to them and be exclusively theirs, like an Airbnb. You could rent out your guest room or not anytime you want.”

I think people are seriously underestimating what Cybercab means for Tesla’s future. For the past few years, everyone has been waiting for a smaller, cheaper Tesla to restart growth. And as that car failed to arrive, the assumption became that Tesla had lost its way or abandoned its high-volume ambitions. I think Tesla is laying the foundation for something much bigger. My read is that Elon made a deliberate decision to give up the obvious next product—a cheaper car with a steering wheel—and concentrate the company’s engineering talent on Cybercab and FSD. That takes conviction. You’re walking away from a product people already want, accepting slower growth, and putting enormous pressure on your teams to deliver. But I think Elon understands something that gets overlooked: a large company can have all the talent and resources in the world and still produce mediocre products because its attention is scattered. Remove the backup plan, and suddenly the entire company has to make this work. That kind of urgency can produce extraordinary innovation. And here’s where I think this gets really interesting. Once Tesla proves Cybercab’s software, manufacturing, and vehicle architecture, it can build an entire lineup on that foundation. Small cars. Larger cars. SUVs. All designed around the passenger. All benefiting from simpler systems, fewer parts, and a fundamentally different way of manufacturing. That’s the path I see back to millions more vehicles a year. Cybercab is the first step in that future. The work going into it today could make the vehicles that follow dramatically better and more affordable. Yes, Tesla is paying a price for this decision right now. But I think the focus it creates gives Tesla a much stronger shot at leading the next era of transportation. Five or ten years from now, I suspect we’ll look back at this period and realize how much of Tesla’s future was being built while people were declaring its growth story over. I break down the reasoning and the path ahead in my new video.

The question I see others asking is “does NVIDIA Alpamayo affect Tesla?” The short answer is: not really. The long answer is that it sort of gets everyone else back into the game of adding autonomy to their vehicles, but here is the problem: the game is about to switch to robotaxis. I do not know that this really affects the robotaxi game (at least not in the short term), and that is the rub. Waymo customers keep telling me “I am never buying a car again.” I do not think it helps the traditional automaker much. People who want autonomy will want Tesla due to its fleet size. The next year will make that clear.

People forget Tesla is just as much a hardcore software company as it is a hardcore hardware company. You feel it the second you use the Cybercab. The software is buttery smooth. Everything responds instantly. And bc the Cybercab has cameras surrounding the car, it can constantly see what’s happening around it. The software takes all of that camera data and turns it into a real-time understanding of the world around the car like vehicles, people, roads, obstacles. You can literally watch that digital world being built around it on the screen as you ride. Hardware + software + AI, all built to work together. That vertical integration is Tesla’s superpower. That’s the part people miss.

In the early days of Waymo's service in Phoenix, they had a large number of roadside assistance vans traveling alongside their vehicles, each with two people inside. When the Waymo vehicle got stuck, one person would jump out of the RA van and drive the car. Today Waymo still has roadside assistance vans ready to help when a car has an issue, but they don't have to be directly with one car — issues are rare enough that a few roadside assistance vans can handle a much larger fleet. It's funny to see people take shots at Tesla for doing the same. Of course they're going to be careful with the first customer deployment. No, someone isn't secretly controlling the car from outside. The AI model on the car is driving the car. Go test drive any Tesla and find out for yourself. It doesn't need help from anyone, it can see and react to things before you do.

This is one of the things he does that gives him serious pounds. He can pimp anything you want in your car. Look at how he is controlling the windows of his car with just the car remote.

This is one of the things he does that gives him serious pounds. He can pimp anything you want in your car. Look at how he is controlling the windows of his car with just the car remote.

Tesla Semi is starting to look a lot more practical for real fleets! FutureAzA points to Bali Express testing it for three weeks, with the biggest benefits showing up on traffic-heavy routes: no fuel burned while idling, cheaper depot charging, lower vibration, and potentially much lower operating costs. Tesla is already shipping Semis from Nevada every week. The real bottleneck now may be 4680 battery supply. If Tesla can unlock that, the Semi ramp could get a lot more interesting. $TSLA
