Tesla's Cybercab is changing the economics of autonomous transportation, and the numbers are really staggering A Tesla Cybercab at an estimated $25,000 versus an average of $175,000 for Waymo's Texas fleet. That's a 7X difference in vehicle cost According to the latest Texas DMV registration data: • Waymo: 1,207 registered vehicles • Tesla Cybercab: 573 registered vehicles Here's what those fleets represent in estimated vehicle costs: • Waymo's 1,207 vehicles: ~$212 million • Tesla's 573 Cybercabs: $14.3 million Now scale that to 1,000 vehicles: • Waymo: $175 million • Tesla Cybercab: $25 million That's a $150 MILLION difference for every 1,000 vehicles Tesla designed Cybercab from the ground up as a purpose-built autonomous vehicle for mass production, with a simplified vehicle design, camera-based autonomous driving, and an entirely new manufacturing approach And when you're talking about eventually deploying millions of autonomous vehicles, the difference in economics becomes so enormous This is the kind of manufacturing advantage that changes the economics of transportation at a global scale
