Tesla adds 45 Cybercabs to its Texas robotaxi fleet, days before official launch event

EVwire brief: Tesla has added 45 Cybercabs to the company's Texas robotaxi fleet. The purpose-built vehicles appeared in the Texas Motor Carrier Credentialing System (TxMCCS) registry, joining 269 Model Ys already authorized for autonomous operation.

Tesla's automated motor vehicle authorization now covers 314 total vehicles, with the seven Cybercabs as the only non-Model Y entries.

Here's the TxMCCS registry page showing the seven 45 (and updating) Cybercabs alongside Tesla's Model Y fleet:

Tesla launched its first unsupervised Robotaxi rides in Austin on June 22, 2025 with roughly 20 Model Ys. The fleet has since grown to 276 vehicles and expanded operations to Dallas, Houston, and parts of Florida.
