Cybercab, which has two book-wing doors, is claimed to start production in 2026 and is available for purchase by customers at a price of less than US$30,000 (equivalent to. Rp460 million). Musk stated that with autonomy, cars can be used more often, even up to 10 times.

Launching Reuters, October 11, Musk plans to operate a cybercab autonomous taxi fleet that can be ordered through the app. Individual Tesla owners can also make money by registering their vehicle as robotaxi.

The event at Warner Bros. studio near Los Angeles, California, was titled "We, Robot," which refers to Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot" science fiction story. It also echoes Musk's emphasis that Tesla should be considered an "AI robotics company" rather than just a car maker.

The event participants included investors, stock analysts, and Tesla fans. Their main question is how quickly Tesla can increase robotaxi production, at what cost, and especially, how much money they can make from the taxi business.

Attention is also focused on the progress the company has made with partial automation software being marketed as Full Self-Driving. This software is expected to be the basis for Tesla's robotaxi.

Musk can also provide details about cheaper versions of Tesla's current EVs as well as updates about the humanoid robot Optimus.
