## Key points

- Cybercab expansion is due to start in Dallas next month.
- Tesla plans to sell the vehicles to fleet operators by year-end.
- Scale, approvals and unclear paid-ride figures remain key issues.

## Summary

Tesla plans to expand its Cybercab robotaxi service beyond Austin, starting in Dallas next month and reaching other cities by the end of 2026. The company also expects to begin selling the vehicles to fleet operators by year-end, setting up greater competition with Waymo, the current US robotaxi market leader.

Tesla says the Cybercab is easy to manufacture and could undercut rivals on price, but that depends on scaling the service and securing regulatory approvals. The company reported no specific revenue or paid-ride figures: it replaced a chart of cumulative paid robotaxi miles with one tracking unsupervised miles, and Elon Musk said the business may show up in Tesla’s financial results from the second quarter of 2027. Waymo has more than 4,000 robotaxis operating across more than a dozen US cities.
