Elon Musk has shared new footage on X showcasing the Cybercab driving itself out of Giga Texas. The brief clip captures a couple of the gold-painted robotaxis exiting the factory doors, navigating the outdoor logistics lots while following street signs, executing tight turns, and blending into active factory traffic — all entirely unassisted.

He even revealed where these purpose-built autonomous vehicles are heading first, writing, "Soon it’ll be driving itself in to Austin city, reporting for duty!" Elluswamy's comments indicate that Tesla is not only closing in on Cybercab deployment but that Austin will likely be the debut market where the next-gen vehicle will officially join the fleet. Factory Automation: Built Into Tesla's DNA While seeing an unmanned Cybercab cruise out of a factory is exciting, this functionality builds directly on previous automation that Tesla has already established at its facilities. Tesla is building the Cybercab at Gigafactory Texas, where Model Ys have been driving themselves off the production line for quite some time now. In fact, the company already achieved a world-first by autonomously delivering a Model Y from Giga Texas straight to a local customer's doorstep last year. Tesla has also achieved similar automation internationally; vehicles also drive themselves off the line at Giga Berlin. The progression to the Cybercab shows how Tesla’s autonomy-first fleet is designed to manage its own physical distribution right from birth. Production Ramps Up as Regulatory Paths Clear This video drops at a critical operational moment in the Cybercab’s life. Tesla officially kicked off mass production last month, and we've already seen fleets of Cybercab units sitting
