Tesla just shifted gears into the future with its first Cybercab rolling off the Texas Gigafactory line this week! CEO Elon Musk celebrated the milestone on X, calling it a "key step" toward launching Tesla’s Robotaxi service. The vehicle ditches traditional controls entirely – no steering wheel, no pedals, just pure autonomous tech powered by Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system. 🤖
Musk revealed Monday that mass production will kick off in April, using Tesla’s radical "unboxed" manufacturing method. Think LEGO-style assembly: different car sections built in parallel zones, then snapped together. Tesla claims this could slash costs and boost output – though skeptics await real-world proof. 🔧
But roadblocks remain: U.S. safety rules still require manual controls, and Tesla’s seeking exemptions. Yesterday, California regulators paused a planned license suspension after Tesla tweaked its autonomous feature descriptions. 🚦
Gen-Z travelers and tech enthusiasts, get ready – this could redefine ride-hailing. Will cities embrace driverless cabs by summer? Stay tuned. 🌆
