Tesla, Austin and Cybercab
Digest more
Elon Musk addresses speculation about Tesla's gold Cybercab, clarifying its design inspiration as a nod to New York taxis and manufacturing efficiency, not President Trump's affinity for gold decor.
Tesla's Cybercab made its Austin debut with rides and fanfare, but the launch raised more questions than it answered about scale, safety approvals, and who actually profits if the robotaxi bet pays off.
Tesla will take the wraps off its production Cybercab purpose-built robotaxi in Austin later today, marking a potential turning point for the company's self-driving ambitions.
