Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has started manufacturing its Cybercab robotaxi, CEO Elon Musk said, marking a milestone in the company’s push to expand into autonomous ride-hailing services as demand for electric vehicles remains under pressure.
Musk said on Friday via the social media platform X that production of the Cybercab is now underway at Tesla, aligning with earlier statements that the vehicle would enter manufacturing in 2026.
The first Cybercab reportedly came off the production line on February 18, when Tesla shared a commemorative image.
During its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call, Tesla revised its production timeline, moving initial manufacturing plans into 2026. In its first-quarter 2026 update, the company said it expected “volume production of both Cybercab and the Tesla Semi” later in the year.
Tesla previously stated that, at full scale, Cybercab production could reach as many as two million units annually—about 38,000 vehicles per week.
Early output is expected to be substantially lower, with initial production likely in the range of hundreds of units per week as the program ramps up.
Shares of Tesla were up 1.6% at about $380 on Friday morning.
