Tesla's Cybercab: Affordable Robotaxi Under $30K, Boasts 800V Platform and No Steering Wheel
  • Elon Musk has announced that Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi, known as the Cybercab, will be priced below $30,000 before any potential federal subsidies.

  • The Cybercab will utilize inductive charging technology and is expected to feature the same advanced 800V platform as the Cybertruck.

  • Equipped with Tesla's latest Full Self-Driving version 13, the Robotaxi boasts significant advancements, including enhanced autoparking capabilities.

  • The Cybercab will come with a 40 kWh battery pack, allowing for a range of 200 miles on a single charge, thanks to its lightweight design.

  • Designed with large-diameter tires that have low rolling resistance, the Cybercab omits traditional steering wheels and pedals, further reducing its weight.

  • Notably, the Cybercab will have significantly fewer parts than Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y, featuring only half the parts of the Model 3 and 40% of the Model Y's parts.

  • This streamlined design will enhance production efficiency, enabling the Cybercab production line to produce twice as many vehicles per hour compared to other manufacturers.

  • Tesla emphasizes that most trips in the U.S. involve one or two passengers, which justifies the Cybercab's two-seat configuration.

  • The two-seat design not only enhances energy efficiency and aerodynamics but also simplifies cleaning.

  • Additionally, the Cybercab will feature wireless charging pads that achieve a 93% efficiency rate in recharging the vehicle.

  • Future versions of the Cybercab are already in development, retaining the futuristic wing doors design element.
