Dallas is next for Cybercab. On Tesla's Q3 2026 earnings call on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, Ashok Elluswamy said "next month we'll be launching in Dallas," and that the same software will then scale "to lots of other cities, along with the Model Y Robotaxis," according to the call transcript published by Investing.com. Cybercab rides are currently offered only in Austin.
What Tesla said about the Robotaxi ramp
- Austin fleet: Musk said the Cybercab fleet in Austin "has grown by a factor of 10 since launch about a month ago." CNBC reported that Texas DMV records list 362 Model Y Robotaxi and 449 Cybercab vehicles authorized for driverless operation in the state.
- Hours: Elluswamy said service hours have grown from 6 a.m.–9 p.m. to later evenings and will "pretty soon" run to 2 a.m., with 24/7 operation, higher-speed roads and more weather conditions targeted "over the rest of this year."
- Cities: "We do six cities now," Elluswamy said. CFO Vaibhav Taneja said Tesla plans to bring Cybercab to other cities before the end of this year.
- Buying one: Manufacturing VP Lars Moravy said Tesla is "trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of this year, 2026," but Musk said "the vast majority" of Cybercabs will be Tesla-owned and run as transport-as-a-service.
- Cost per mile: Taneja said Tesla is not yet at its target of $0.30 per paid mile but sees "a path to get to that."
Elluswamy said the limits are still mainly technology, but could "pretty quickly become regulatory, perhaps in Q1, Q2 timeframes." Musk predicted that, barring government intervention, Tesla "will end up doing a majority of all passenger miles on Earth in any country where it is allowed to operate freely," CNBC reported.
