Tesla Plans to Begin Customer Sales of Cybercab by End of 2026
Tesla reportedly said on its third-quarter earnings call that it will begin selling the Cybercab to customers by the end of 2026, initially in small batches, as reported by IT之家, cnBeta and DoNews. Engineering vice president Lars Moravy said current production is allocated entirely to Tesla’s own autonomous-taxi fleet, with customer deliveries planned as that fleet expands. The driverless two-seat vehicle has no steering wheel or conventional controls, and the NHTSA is investigating its compliance with US vehicle safety standards.
The planned customer sales would be a material commercialization step for Tesla’s autonomous-vehicle strategy, but external deliveries remain subject to regulatory review.
IT之家 10 月 22 日消息，特斯拉表示，将在今年年底前开始向客户销售其无人驾驶出租车 Cybercab。这款金色双人自动驾驶车辆没有方向盘和其他传统操控装置，目前美国联邦监管机构正在调查其是否符合车辆安全标准。
IT之家注意到，在公司第三季度财报电话会议上，特斯拉工程副总裁拉尔斯 · 莫拉维（Lars Moravy）称，当前生产的 Cybercab 全部供给特斯拉自身的自动驾驶出租车车队。随着车队规模扩大，公司将“主要向客户交付完整设计的自动驾驶车辆”，他同时表示会从小批量起步。
莫拉维补充说，随着特斯拉逐步掌握自动驾驶车辆的交付、私人持有以及车队运营经验，后续会扩大生产规模。
