We've got the basic deets on Tesla's supposedly fully autonomous two-seater.
View Photos Tesla New details about the Tesla Cybercab have been revealed in EPA documents. The docs show that the yet-to-be-released Robotaxi will have a 219-hp front-mounted electric motor and a 3113-pound curb weight.With a small 48-k Wh battery pack, the Cybercab could have just under 280 miles of EPA-estimated driving range.We want to take Tesla's word that the upcoming Cybercab (a.k.a. Robotaxi) will arrive sans a steering wheel or pedals, but we've also learned to take the company's autonomous-vehicle promises with a grain of salt. For more than a decade, Tesla's eccentric—to put it in the lightest and least divisive way possible—CEO has effectively claimed that the brand's properly equipped vehicles would offer an autonomous driving function in just a few years.
To its credit, Tesla does operate a handful of Model Y Robotaxis sans drivers in Texas. While impressive, it's still not the privately owned autonomous vehicle that Musk has long implied was just around the bend. Whether the individual belted into the left seat of the two-person Cybercab gets to take on the role of driver or passenger remains to be seen. What's no longer a mystery, though, are the basic mechanical details of the Cybercab.
