Overview
Tesla's Texas robotaxi expansion now includes discussion of purpose-built, two-seat Cybercabs in Austin. Moonshots highlights Musk's proposed $30,000 sale price, an early rider's cheaper-fare report and a potential owner-operated fleet model. Peter now cites permission for 5,000 Las Vegas vehicles, versus the earlier discussion's 2,500-vehicle deployment plan; the relationship between those figures is unclear. Purchase availability, expansion timing and camera-only safety remain open.
