Moravy Says Optimus Will Plug Cybercabs Until Charging Automates
Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, said in a Munro Live video published Monday, October 26, that the Cybercab still needs a person or a robot to plug into a charger. The vehicle keeps a charge port so it can use Tesla's existing infrastructure, which includes thousands of Superchargers. Moravy suggested Optimus could handle the plugging in the near term, as a stopgap, until Tesla introduces automated charging, for which he said the Cybercab is already prepared. He gave no timeline.…
- Optimus would be a stopgap for plugging the Cybercab into chargers, with no timeline.
- The Cybercab keeps a charge port to use Tesla's existing Superchargers.
🔎 Why it matters: Moravy suggests Optimus would act as the Cybercab's charging intermediary before automated charging exists, linking the robotaxi to the humanoid robot.
📈 Upside: The charge port lets the Cybercab use Tesla's Supercharger network now, without waiting for automated charging.
📉 Risk: If the Cybercab line keeps outpacing Robotaxi deployments, finished vehicles could pile up without entering service.
