Tesla Prepares to Launch Cybercab, First Model Without Steering Wheel or Pedals

Tesla has informed employees that it is gearing up for a public launch of the Cybercab in Austin as early as this month, according to a report by The Information. The Cybercab would be the first Tesla vehicle ever built without a steering wheel or pedals, signaling a bold shift toward a fully autonomous design. However, the company has described it as the least exciting vehicle it has ever produced, noting that the car would be practically useless without an autonomous driving system that Tesla has not yet delivered at scale. The launch underscores Tesla’s continued push toward autonomous technology, while raising questions about the Cybercab’s immediate usability and market appeal.
