Warner Bros. Hollywood Studios Has Been Chosen To Make This Event Exceptionally Special. Robotaxi is a very ambitious plan of Musk. Many AI features have been provided in the cyber cab equipped with autonomous (self-driving) driving.
CyberCab Price
In this event, Elon Musk said that the upcoming autonomous ‘Cybercab’ is going to be priced at less than $30,000, whose production is going to start in 2026. This car is going to be based on the company’s Model 3 sedan and may be $12,000 cheaper than this. The current starting price of the Tesla Model 3 is $42,000.
It is worth noting that the pricing of Cybercab has been kept attractive, but the company has a history of increasing the price before starting the deliveries.

And will be small in terms of immediate deliverables or incremental revenue drivers.” “The company’s track record – particularly in FSD – has been of being overly optimistic and lacking in detail.”
He said that Tesla can provide information about cheaper versions of its current lineup. And it can moreover update speculators approximately its humanoid robot, Optimus.
