    Tesla Deploys 45 Cybercabs in Austin as Battery Capacity Limits 2026 Ramp

    Question

    Tesla Deploys 45 Cybercabs in Austin as Battery Capacity Limits 2026 Ramp

    Direct answer

    Tesla deployed 45 driverless Cybercab robotaxis in Austin following regulatory authorization, initiating its dedicated autonomous mobility service. However, volume commercial production was removed from the 2026 corporate roadmap in July, with management identifying battery pack cell manufacturing capacity as the critical bottleneck holding back scaled vehicle output.
