Tesla Cybercab Rolls Off Production Line: No Steering Wheel, Priced Under $200,000

Tesla's first fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, the Cybercab, recently rolled off the production line at its Gigafactory in Texas, USA. Featuring a stainless-steel exterior, a two-door, two-seat layout, and full-width lighting, the interior is equipped solely with a 21-inch central touchscreen. Production utilizes Tesla’s new “Unboxed” process, which assembles the vehicle in six modules, boosting efficiency by 35%. The Cybercab supports wireless inductive charging—eliminating the need for a charging port—and is powered by the same HW4.0 chip found in the Model 3 and Model Y, enabling full self-driving capabilities through eight cameras and neural networks. Elon Musk stated the vehicle will be priced under $30,000 (approximately RMB 200,000), lower than the starting price of the Model 3 in North America. While the Cybercab symbolizes the dawn of a new era in driverless transportation, its commercialization still hinges on regulatory approvals, presenting ongoing challenges to its market rollout.
