Cybercab mass production Q2 2026

“The single biggest expansion in production will be the Cybercab, which starts production in Q2 next year.”
— Elon Musk · Oct 23, 2025 · Tesla Q3 2025 earnings call transcript (Motley Fool), Oct 22 2025 ↗
What actually happened

At the Q3 2025 call Musk called the Cybercab 'the single biggest expansion in production,' starting Q2 2026; production did begin at Giga Texas in April 2026. Fetched Sep 17 2026: Wikipedia lists production from February 2026, hundreds spotted by July, paid public Cybercab rides in limited Austin areas from Sep 4 via the existing Robotaxi app, and about 45 Cybercabs registered to Tesla's Texas robotaxi fleet as of August. NHTSA opened a Sep 2026 self-certification audit. Tesla has published no actual output rate vs >125k installed capacity; Q2 2026 update dropped the 2026 volume-production line. Status stays partial.
