Meet Tesla's Future: The Cybercab
Fri Oct 18 2024
Tesla has finally revealed its vision for the future of self-driving cars with the Tesla Cybercab. This car is designed to be fully autonomous, meaning no steering wheel or pedals are needed. The Cybercab was showcased at Tesla's "We, Robot" event, giving us a glimpse into what the company thinks transportation will look like in the future.
The design of the Cybercab is a mix of the Cybertruck and Model 3. It has long light bars on the front and rear, and a futuristic look that still resembles a typical car. One interesting feature is the wheels, which appear to be large with very slim tires. However, Tesla has simply painted parts of the tires to give them this look.
The interior is even more interesting. Since the Cybercab is designed for autonomous driving, Tesla has more freedom with the interior design. There's no steering wheel or pedals, and the seats are pushed back to give more legroom. The car shown only has space for two people, with no second row of seating. There's also a big 20. 5-inch center display for passengers to watch movies, play games, and more.
The range of the Cybercab isn't as much of an issue because it can drive itself to charging stations. Tesla hasn't given details about the range, but we hope it's at least 300 miles. What's more interesting is how the Cybercab charges. It won't have a charging port but will use wireless charging instead. This means you won't be able to charge it at a Tesla Supercharger, at least not without changes to the Superchargers.
The Cybercab is expected to be on the road by the end of 2027 and will cost under $30, 000. However, Tesla's track record with release dates and pricing isn't great, so take these predictions with a grain of salt.
