Tesla Cybercabs take over Austin's F1 weekend
Tesla's Cybercabs operated during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, which the outlet describes as the fleet's biggest public stress test so far. On Sunday, Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's head of AI software, shared a photo of a long line of Cybercabs and Model Y Robotaxis near Circuit of the Americas. Tesla set up the service days in advance without announcing it: app screenshots showed the service area extended toward the track and ride requests open until 1 a.m.…
- 1,250 Cybercab sightings in Austin on Saturday, per Cybercab Spotter: a new record.
- 463 Cybercabs registered in Texas on Sunday, up from over 300 in October.
🔎 Why it matters: The Robotaxi fleet operated around Circuit of the Americas during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, with the app's service area expanded and a 1 a.m. cutoff for that weekend.
📈 Upside: Riders could request Cybercabs to get home after the race, according to Cybercab Spotter.
📉 Risk: Tesla has not confirmed whether the expanded zone and 1 a.m. cutoff will continue after race weekend.
