May 30, 2026 – Tesla has shared footage of its Cybercab rolling off the production line, marking what the company claims is the world’s first mass-produced Level 5 autonomous vehicle built without a steering wheel, pedals, or side mirrors.
In the video posted by Elon Musk on X, a fleet of gold-finished Cybercabs exits the factory one after another, entirely driverless. Inside, there is no dashboard, no instrument cluster, and no traditional controls — just two seats facing a single central display.
The vehicle is designed exclusively for robotaxi services. It features a stainless-steel body, gull-wing doors, and a dual-seat layout. Powering it is Tesla’s pure-vision stack — eight high-definition cameras paired with the FSD V14 end-to-end neural network. Tesla says the hardware is fully redundant and rates the car’s safety at ten times that of a human driver.
Priced between 25,000and30,000 with a range of roughly 320 km, the Cybercab targets short, high-frequency urban trips. The first units rolled off the line in February, with volume production beginning in April.
Notably, Tesla is bypassing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s annual cap of 2,500 autonomous vehicle exemptions by certifying the car through its own internal compliance process — effectively removing any ceiling on how many it can manufacture.
Musk has warned that early output will be slow, but expects production to ramp exponentially by year-end, with a long-term target of two million units annually.
