Tesla’s robotaxi, which has no steering wheel or pedals, is expected to enter production before 2027, according to Elon Musk

Tesla has finally done it. After years of speculation, Twitter teasers, and a few timeline “adjustments” from Elon Musk, the company has officially unveiled its long-rumored robotaxi. Officially named the Cybercab, this vehicle takes design cues from the Cybertruck. Unlike many other robotaxi prototypes revealed in recent years, this Tesla will be available for private consumers to purchase.
The Cybercab is equipped with Tesla’s latest autonomous driving technology, and around 20 units were showcased at the event, allowing attendees to take test rides. Tesla’s eccentric CEO, Elon Musk, announced that production is set to begin in 2026. However, during the live unveiling, he acknowledged his tendency to be “optimistic” with timelines. To play it safe, Musk confirmed that production would start before 2027, with a price tag of under $30,000.

Since the Cybercab is designed without a steering wheel or pedals, Tesla will need regulatory approval before it can begin production or sales. As with any new Tesla model, the interior is highly minimalist, offering seating for two and featuring a large central infotainment screen, which appears to be taken directly from the Model 3 or Model Y.
Much like the electric Cybertruck, the Cybercab’s exterior features a sleek, full-width LED light bar across the front, giving it a futuristic appearance. You’ll also notice familiar Tesla design elements, such as sharp creases along the hood and pronounced rear shoulders reminiscent of the Model Y. However, one unique feature sets it apart from other Tesla models: supercar-inspired butterfly doors. While these are intended to make entry and exit easier, their practicality in places like a Whole Foods parking lot remains to be seen.

Tesla’s focus on aerodynamics continues, with solid aero covers on the wheels to maximize range. At the rear, there’s a slim light bar, clearly inspired by the Cybertruck’s design. Since the Cybercab is built for full autonomy, traditional features like wing mirrors or even a rear window are unnecessary—after all, why look back when your car drives itself?
Tesla remains tight-lipped about the Cybercab’s powertrain, offering no specifics on its range per charge—a crucial detail for a robotaxi intended for continuous, all-day operation.
