Tesla Is Manually Charging Driverless Robotaxis at an Austin Supercharger

📍 Not a Tesla App

A video shared on X by @WorldlyReviewer shows Tesla charging driverless robotaxis at a public Supercharger in Austin. Ten vehicles arrived on their own: one Cybercab and nine Model Ys. An employee plugged each one in by hand and adjusted the position when a car was out of cable reach. The Cybercab reverses into its stall because its NACS port sits behind a small door on the rear bumper corner. It has no onboard charger, so it accepts only DC fast charging; Wall Connectors and Mobile Connectors don't work. Tesla plans to charge it by induction and says the system's efficiency is well above 90%.…

🔎 Why it matters: It shows that the Cybercab and Model Y fleet in Austin still depends on staff to charge, while the planned inductive charging is not yet operational. Until the planned Austin hub with 80 wireless chargers is running, charging will continue at public Superchargers.
📈 Upside: One employee can service several robotaxis in a single Supercharger visit, as the video shows.
📉 Risk: While there are not enough active wireless hubs in operating markets, charging will keep relying on staff who connect each vehicle by hand.
