Top 10 CyberCab Details We MISSED!

[@Mephistopheles13]

You venting about having to always explain the window when opening the door is absolutely relatable.

[@BlindedByLogic]

Robotaxi lacking brakes, pedals, back windshield, cheaper framed windows, 2 less seats, 2 less doors, etc are really good signs that the price can be in that $30k range with FSD included... Plus the lack of back windshield should help gigacasting costs... Hope they make it as bare bones and efficient as possible. To get widespread adoption, it's going to need to crush everything else on cost.

[@diamond_h0us]

Look at how much Waymo pays per car and then charges customers. If they can get this anywhere close to $30k it blows the competition out of the water.

[@craighermle7727]

It has to have brakes. The pedal may not be accessible, but there will be brakes.

I like the screen, could have some kind of screensharing/chromecast controlled by your phone. Having a real living room experience could be good when competing against other robotaxis, which are known to spend a lot more on the vehicle. The screen and software is generally one of teslas strengths, so it could make sense to embrace it especially with an onboard starlink connection.

20.5 Is a very cheap screen as it is the cheapest commodity screen size. The screen is not exclusively for the occupants, it is used during construction for example. I do agree that I would prefer a larger screen with a sound system over using a phone.

[@bio_stack]

Doors look like composite for sure. Also seems like the larger rear wheels could be for equalizing the tire wear with the front.

[@steveblomefield9513]

i agree. something to do with tire wear.

Or a lack of streering wheel and pedals back-up systems ( which could be detatchzibel modular and placed on left or right of car anytime

[@sageakporherhe783]

WRONG

[@kestrelglassingsystems6704]

I can think of several reasons for the larger rear wheels/tires on the cybertaxi. 1) If there is a goal to reduct maintenance intervals, AND the rear axle has a higher load due to this car having a rear biased weight distribution, larger wheels in the back could make the front and rear tires wear more evenly. Such that eventually you just replace them all and avoid rotations. 2) Same as above, but assuming rear wheel drive, a larger wheel tire in the back would last longer. 3) If they want to maximize cargo space in the back and push the wheel wells out, a skinny tire helps. You can get some tire patch size back on the narrow wheel/tire by increasing the diameter. This was done on the BMW i3 when they ran narrow tires for aero reasons. 4) some combination of 1-3.

[@CristiCroicu]

The reason robotaxy will not hit more impressive figures for efficiency in the beginning is related to the fact that they will spend more time on designing the car for robustness and off course the fsd unsupervised. At some point after those issues are fixed they will turn their attention to the efficiency (let’s not forget that hardware 5 will consume a lot more power than hardware 4… 3-4 times more power)

[@onurelt]

Only KZbin who has to mention Apptera in every single video. Other than that love your videos.

[@ScottOstr]

Plastic panels make sense. I agree that the efficiency will be better than expected. I think the Cybercab will be basically free to own since it will make money for you while you're not using it.

[@ScottOstr]

Great point about the screen. The display will get broken. No display makes more sense.

[@ripvanstinkle]

Great note about the framed door window. I also appreciate a framed window. It gives people something to grab to help them get in and out of the car, too, which can be hard for some because the cars are so low.

[@rockelino]

"Row-boven"

[@AncientEgyptArchitecture]

Looking just a few years down the road, I can't help but wonder if, when the $25k consumer model is released, will IT have inductive charging like the cybercab, and if so, will Tesla dig up the pavement at a few of their charging stations to put inductive pads in, or will they just add more stalls? Seems to me it would be more efficient to have stalls that can charge both ways.

[@JFabric500]

They already have to dip the panels and the structure to improve corrosion resistance, just gonna dip in color.

[@Lukas-q6v2i]

Also, in terms of efficiency, it has a 1 kilowatt computer running at all times, sooo that would mean the kWh/mile would be 5.5 + 1kwh/miles pr hour

[@ricardoveras3433]

Cybercab is highly consumer facing. Cost of a screen is not a big deal. They put the biggest screen in that tiny car. I doubt they’ll omit that. Seems pretty important to me. I would not want to be stuck watching something on my phone using my own data watching a movie on a tiny screen when I could use the cars screen and it can use it for a ton of functions. Very useful. Would be a massive mistake to not have that imo

[@AncientEgyptArchitecture]

Yup. Trust me Drew, the screen will stay.

[@ricardoveras3433]

Larger tires are better for efficiency but need small front tires for turning and smoothness and I believe also less rolling resistance if RWD which is very highly likely to be the drivetrain of choice, so if they made them such different sizes I doubt that will change

[@AncientEgyptArchitecture]

Yes, I think it's safe to say that's locked-in at this late date. Changing the sizes around now would mean re-designing both the front and rear suspension, the chassis and the drivetrain. Uh Uh Drew.

[@ScaleableInvestments]

I really like how it will only be 20 to 40 cents per mile. But I don’t understand how owners will make anything for their return on investment only making 20 cents per mile?

[@matty8920]

Yeah 75000 miles before you see any money back, and then you have to charge it, maintain it, insure it, repair it.... probably you need around 100k miles to break even?

[@ScaleableInvestments]

@@matty8920 i mean its good for people because they can benefit from savings, but 100k miles it a bit of a stretch even for a somewhat passive investment

[@onceappuonatime]

I think your take on the display overlooks the following: 1.lifetime revenue earned from having a display will far exceed the cost of adding it to the cab 2. Tesla can offer a premium subscription to remove ads on the screen from all robotaxi rides 3. Or riders can can get a lower fare by subsidizing their ride through ads on the screen

[@milanjordan]

In the production car, the side windows will surely be tinted to provide privacy from the outside. In the prototype, this was not the case so that people could see that the cars are driving fully autonomously.

[@arlenbell4376]

That will require a change in state laws to allow it.

[@loganrussell48]

I share your sentiment on explaining the doors to people - but I have a Cybertruck now and one thing I haven't paid attention to is whether the plunger pushes the door open slightly when you press the door release from the *inside*. Obviously it opens slightly when the outside button is pressed. If it opens slightly even when pressing on the inside, that will let people know that they did in fact press the right button and they can push the door open all the way. I'm surprised I haven't taken notice of this yet tbh.

[@jvaillancourt]

This robotaxi should be a lot simpler to manufacture than other larger and more complex Teslas. So, 2 years sounds like a realistic goal to me.

[@AncientEgyptArchitecture]

Personally I suspect the lines are almost ready to start up, all they need to do is finalize details for the consumer version and it's off to the races. We may see some cybercabs on the street by mid '26.

[@JEP-Tech]

If this taxi is supposed to be a people mover. I don't get why it doesn't have bench seating. I get that it would mean you would need a third airbag in the middle and might have to reposition the center screen. But limiting this to just two people when it could fit 3 is kind of lame. Most cabs can fit 3 people in the back seat, so why not put 3 in a front with no driver? I think this is an indication that don't plan to really make this outside of limited applications or are planning to just release this as a regular two door car with FSD software.

[@JaceTran]

Please make it model 2 by adding steering wheel, pedals....❤

[@tLWildThing]

I disagree I'd be shocked if they deliver a robotaxi without a screen. Not everyone has a laptop with them or wants to use a cell phone and drain batteries.

[@stevenschmidt]

There are high speed DC and efficient wireless charging technologies out there, so I'm not concerned about that. By the time the CyberCab comes to production I think it'll be a non-issue.

[@bwmanarific]

The wireless charging just need to have it where theres no debris that can get into it, so its safe. Not having DC supercharging is a bummer but its much cheaper to build

[@hermanmoreno9217]

[@jasonc4421]

fantastic Drew! the CC is really cool. I do wonder about airbags and if the windshield is shared with another product - as in why use that typical A pillar and windshield layout if you are not controlling the vehicle. The wrap question is also interesting - wonder why?.

[@deej628]

What I don’t understand is all these lease returns that were supposed to be part of this? What happened with all those cars?

[@TailosiveEV]

They sell them in the used inventory section

[@pandemik0]

Hmmm the larger rear wheel means you don't need to rotate the tire, it's size increase probably proportional to the increased wear from being drive/regen wheels?

[@zipp5398]

Just hypothetical speaking; the center screen may have more involved with regulations, albeit out of date than anything they may require some sort of display under some old law. The other reason is a technician can literally hop into these vehicles with a screen punch in a code and literally get all the information they could ever need on the vehicle without a scan tool because usually what happens in a shop environment is you have to go searching for the scan tool because somebody didn’t put it back or the battery‘s dead in the scan tool so now you have to charge it all this is delayed in a shop environment, but that’s the only reason I see for keeping a screen in there not to mention some fleet operators may have some weird reason they prefer a screen for accessing certain information like security cameras, and stuff I mean, for example why do they need display engages anymore on farm equipment when it could all be access to the computer because the old timers and not so old timers kind of demand it. Just a few thoughtsgreat video.

Cybercab seems more a Model2 than a robotaxi.

[@sxsignal]

Considering the Aptera is slotted to be in production before the robotaxi (we hope) the robotaxi will still lag behind the Aptera in efficiency, range, and capability (sans autonomous driving) but the robotaxi isn't meant for the everyday person unless you "buy" a taxi, for your own conveyance which is a possibility. I love the looks of it, and excited for it. but more excited for my aptera and Telo

[@garywozniak7742]

Let's hope.

[@MetikalMan]

I will not be surprised if it ends up over 7mi/kWh. Because these will be used in city’s, and friction brakes will effectively never be used because of regen braking. These won’t tailgate like the idiots driver their own cars, so they will have no need to slam their brakes. Even 6 mi per kWh will be insane with a 60kw battery! That’s still well over 300mi!

[@5893MrWilson]

There is no way Tesla is going carbon fiber for anything other than maybe roadster. The cybercab is all about economics and practical efficiency. Carbon fiber costs significantly more and is just not scalable the same way that metal panels are

range doesnt matter at all for these self driving vehicles. they can ml and configure speeds to cover the miles. also as a passenger, u get out of the car and switch cars to get 200 additional miles in 10 sec. even if the car is 100 miles having more car means range wont be an issue, neither is efficiency.

You talk about efficiency, but it is so anti future to need to own multiple vehicles. Then again this cyber cab utopia has a serious flaw, if you live in a rural area 40 miles outside the metro area, cyber cab would be absolutely useless. You’re not going to have enough demand to warrant a vehicle always positioned there. If you have say 200 mile range, send a vehicle 40+ miles to request, pick person up and take them 5 miles, wait for return trip at store, return 5 miles. Then return back to home area. You just used 90 miles at 20 to 30 cents a mile. Best case that trip at 4 dollars cost results in a lost of at least $16 for let’s say 2 hours of time. As an operator I am not going to want that return. Then if you post a car in that area for 2 similar average a day rides. That’s $8 dollars with a $30,000 plus operating cost of $4.

@bertrandp2977 it is still very impressive to just even make a robot. No one has ever made one of this quality and in such a short time.

[@bertrandp2977]

Looks like it impresses you. Not me. Besides, I do not like deception. It makes me wonder if robotaxis were also remotely controlled. Seems smoke and mirror to me. And I am not alone if you consider stock movement. We shall see…

[@Victic005]

@bertrandp2977 hahaha. I guess all the other Tesla on the road are remote controlled too. Haters....

Aptera is a scam - three wheels is LESS efficient than four The only "advantage" is that it does not have to meet the safety standards Aptera is what a non expert thinks a low drag vehicle would look like!

Can you do a video about the new Toyota hydrogen cartridge design battery 🔋 like triple A batteries small please

[@truhartwood3170]

Don't spend any time on hydrogen. It abaokutely won't happen. Massively more expensive and 1/3rd the efficiency of just charging a battery.

[@AncientEgyptArchitecture]

@Celestara OMG...Hydrogen is a joke for so many reasons that I could literally fill up the comment section explaining them all, so I'll just point out a couple; (1 )all the hydrogen would come from big oil, made from reformed Natural gas, which is a wasteful, energy intensive, expensive and horribly polluting process. (2)Hydrogen is a worse greenhouse gas than CO2 by far, and it would be leaking out of the Oil refineries, storage tanks and the pipelines/trucks, because it is the smallest molecule in existence and migrates right through everything you put in into. If you want to see global warming/climate change go irreversibly out of control, just support hydrogen use.

@@AncientEgyptArchitectureI was just pointing to the most recent development from Toyota and I think it’s practical and Toyota’s new hydrogen cylinder system is similar to the battery-swapping system used for scooters in Taiwan. Just as scooter riders can quickly exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones at designated stations, drivers of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can easily swap their empty hydrogen cylinders for full ones at refueling stations. This approach reduces wait times and makes refueling more convenient, promoting the use of cleaner energy solutions in transportation. And the energy density per mass is insane

​n Asia the produce a lot of grey hydrogen by reforming cheap natural has. It has a larger carbon footprint the using fossil fuels.

No offense, but like what’s up with the kind of people you’re driving around? In about a year of ownership and granted, not more than a dozen people I’ve never had to explain that you need to push on the door while opening it. Nor have I had anyone comment on the window rolling down other than to note that it’s frameless. Even my 11 year old nephew was able to figure out the exterior door handle, thought he did point out they’re weird. And didn’t even ask how to get out, just saw the button that clearly shows a door being opened on it.

I’ve had several dozen. Older people definitely struggle the most but I’ve had some kids not understand as well

[@dylanwhite6539]

@@TailosiveEV fair, I haven’t had anyone older than 50s

[@Jeff-s2v]

Nope, never an EV for me. I love my ICE vehicle. I forsee thieves using a paintball gun to disable the robotaxi and then stripping it.
