AUSTIN, Texas — Tesla's purpose-built robotaxi is rolling off the line in numbers that suggest the company is preparing for deployment, not just testing. New aerial footage of Gigafactory Texas shows more than 100 gold-colored Cybercabs staged in the factory's outbound lot, lined up row by row and waiting to hit the road.
The drone imagery, captured this week, represents the largest Cybercab fleet ever spotted in one place — a clear signal that mass production is moving from pilot phase to genuine scale.
A Fleet Taking Shape
The count at Giga Texas jumped to 102 units, up from roughly 85 just days earlier and around 60 in late May. The week-over-week acceleration points to a production line finding its rhythm. A second cluster of about 50 Cybercabs was discovered at a staging lot near Dallas at the same time, building on earlier sightings of the vehicle testing in Los Angeles and Dallas.
That Dallas staging ground is no accident. Tesla expanded its driverless robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston earlier this year, and stockpiling vehicles nearby suggests an active fleet rollout could be near.
From Line to Lot in Record Time
Tesla kicked off Cybercab mass production at Giga Texas in late April, and the vehicles have already been seen driving themselves off the assembly line. The momentum follows a steady drumbeat of milestones, including the EPA filings that revealed the Cybercab's specifications — a 3,113-pound two-seater built from the ground up for autonomy, with no steering wheel or pedals on many units.
