- Elon Musk shared a video that shows Cybercabs rolling out of the factory.
- The Cybercab is Telsa's upcoming two-seat, fully autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals.
- It's a huge part of Tesla's multibillion-dollar bet that it can become an AI and autonomy brand.
Tesla says its dedicated robotaxi model is finally in production.
On Friday, Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, shared a video on X showing several Cybercab units rolling off the production line in Austin.
The footage was filmed from inside the vehicles as they moved through the factory campus — and suggests Tesla is moving the Cybercab closer to reality.
Tesla is making a multibillion-dollar bet that the company can pivot from traditional car sales to an AI-driven robotaxi and robotics business.
The two-door, two-seat Cybercab — which does not feature a steering wheel or pedals — is one of the major pillars of that bet.
Just over a month ago, the automaker said it had just built its first production Cybercab. Now, the videos suggest Tesla has built multiple units, with Musk also reposting footage of Cybercabs seemingly turning onto a public street.
Starting production is only one step in a much larger challenge.
Tesla has yet to deliver fully autonomous driving at scale. During Wednesday's earnings call, the company removed specific timelines for robotaxi launches in five new cities.
Meanwhile, competitors like Waymo already operate driverless ride-hailing services in several cities.
Still, the videos suggest progress for a vehicle Musk has said would ramp "agonizingly slow."
The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
