Recent footage from both the Tesla Fremont Factory and the Gigafactory in Texas suggests changes are being made and tests are being run on the new Cybercab, also known as the robotaxi.
According to Teslarati, drone recordings shared on X show the Cybercab appears to be manually driven, a divergence from the initial robotaxi models, which had no steering or pedals and were fully autonomous.
In one of the X posts, drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer (@JoeTegtmeyer) shared a clip of the Cybercab test vehicle on the road.
Stopped by Giga Texas this afternoon and there was a Cybercab test vehicle driving on the S River Road and to the W side.

This is the 1st one I've seen driving here in a while.

The Cybercabs on the road imply development is moving along.
"This is the 1st one I've seen driving here in a while," Tegtmeyer said in his post.
Advancements in Tesla's robotaxi line, Full Self-Driving software, and even a new patented production process have kept the vehicle manufacturer in the EV zeitgeist, despite fluctuating sales across 2025.
Per Teslarati, the Cybercab is expected to be Tesla's highest-volume vehicle, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicting an annual run rate of 2 million cars.
With increased advancements and interest in the electric vehicle market, the world of clean driving may be opened up for more people.
Switching to an electric vehicle comes with more than just high-tech perks. The swap is also a logical choice for those seeking to save time and money on fluid changes, such as gas or oil, as well as for those aiming to reduce their environmental impact.
While typical gas-powered cars emit tailpipe pollution, electric vehicles eliminate that pollution by running on battery power, and they're able to save drivers money on fuel and maintenance costs.
