The 8th China International Import Expo is about to kick off at the National Convention and Exhibition Center. This time Tesla brings Tesla Home and its star exhibit: Tesla Cybercab Tesla Cybercab driverless electric car.
According to Tesla, Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals, and uses the Tesla Vision visual processing system + end-to-end neural network autonomous driving solution. It can achieve driverless driving without the use of expensive hardware equipment such as lidar. Aiming at the needs of 92% of travel scenarios for 1-2 people, the new car adopts a two-seater design and an oversized trunk layout, which can not only meet most taxi-hailing scenarios, but also serve as a small freight vehicle between cities. The streamlined body brings ultra-low wind resistance, and combined with Tesla's three-electric system, this car can achieve ultra-high energy efficiency of nearly 10 kilometers on 1 kilowatt hour of electricity. In order to adapt to unmanned operation scenarios, Cybercab is also equipped with wireless charging technology and robotic arm automatic cleaning functions, fully preparing for large-scale implementation. Cybercab plans to start mass production in the second quarter of 2026, and the media has captured the test of the model near Tesla's engineering headquarters in California.
Cybercab will serve Tesla’s Robotaxi driverless online ride-hailing fleet. Tesla's Robotaxi business has begun operations in Austin, Texas, in June 2025, and all current operating vehicles use Model Y models on sale. Tesla has expanded its operations three times and expects to have operations in Nevada, Florida and Arizona by the end of the year. At present, Robotaxi has accumulated more than 400,000 kilometers in Austin and more than 1.6 million kilometers in the California Bay Area. Musk said that robotaxi is expected to eliminate safety drivers in the next few months. Tesla is highly cautious about the deployment of Robotaxi and expects to launch driverless taxi operations in 8 to 10 urban areas by the end of 2025.
Also on display with Cybercab were two Tesla humanoid robots. Tesla's humanoid robot Tesla Bot has the same origin as electric vehicle technology, sharing cameras, three-power technology, and end-to-end neural network technology. At the same time, the ultra-large-scale visual data accumulated by the vehicle also provides a steady stream of material for robot training. Tesla is installing a humanoid robot production line and is expected to start production at the end of 2026 and achieve an annual production capacity target of 1 million units by 2030. The third generation of humanoid robots will be released in the first quarter of 2026.
