25 Tesla Cybercabs Spotted at Texas Gigafactory, Mass Production Set for April
Twenty-five Tesla Cybercab prototypes have been spotted at Tesla's Gigafactory Texas in Austin, signifying the project's accelerated shift from pilot production to full-scale mass production. This progress is weeks ahead of schedule: the first production Cybercab rolled off the assembly line on February 17, an event Elon Musk celebrated in a social media post. Industry insiders expect full-scale mass production to commence within the next 4-8 weeks, around April 2026.

Gigafactory Texas has built 12 dedicated Unboxed modular production lines for the Cybercab, each with an annual capacity of 200,000 units, bringing the total planned capacity to 2-4 million units per year. In the future, the Cybercab's production volume is expected to surpass the combined output of the Model 3 and Model Y, becoming Tesla's new sales backbone. Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously expressed strong confidence in the Cybercab, stating that the vehicle's production cost is projected to be under $30,000. He also noted that the operating cost could drop to approximately 20 cents per mile (around 0.9 RMB per kilometer) over time.
