Tesla introduced three new products at the highly anticipated “We, Robot” event.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently unveiled the Cybercab robotaxi at his much awaited “We, Robot” event. This vehicle as exhibited operates without a steering wheel or pedals.
Three Important Introductions
Cybercab: Robot taxi without steering wheel or pedals
Production to start in 2026
Price will be less than $30,000
Fully autonomous driving
Robovan 20-seater autonomous van
Will be able to carry both passengers and cargo
Retro-futuristic design

Tesla Bot: Humanoid robot
“the most important product of all time” according to Elon Musk
Help with everyday tasks
Estimated price 20-30 thousand dollars
Reality Check
FSD (Full Self Driving) is currently working with 99% accuracy
Competitors like Waymo and Cruise are already using self-driving taxis
Tesla’s advantage: Cameras-only system
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the no-pedals, no-steering wheel car would be able to drive itself without supervision.
While Musk expects it to rake in trillions, some experts doubt the cars will hit the roads anytime soon.
But the unveiled Robovan is just a prototype. Tesla aims to produce 20 million vehicles a year by 2030. Musk did not provide information about plans to build new production facilities or re-equip existing ones. Production of Cybercab is expected to start in 2026 or 2027.
