Elon Musk explains why Tesla can’t scale Cybercab just yet
Elon Musk clarified that the billions of miles driven with Full Self-Driving (FSD) do not automatically transfer to the new Cybercab vehicle. Because Cybercab has an entirely new chassis, Tesla must accumulate specific driving data with this model before deploying it at scale. Tesla is currently testing Cybercabs equipped with temporary steering wheels and pedals so safety drivers can gather real-world data and calibrate the FSD software for the chassis’s unique characteristics. Ashok Elluswamy, VP of AI software, noted the company prioritizes validating the software across multiple cities and
- Cybercab requires specific data due to its new chassis to validate FSD
- Tesla tests Cybercabs with temporary controls to calibrate the software
🔎 Why it matters: The FSD version must be validated on the new Cybercab chassis before mass deployment.
📈 Upside: Improves software accuracy by calibrating specifically for the Cybercab chassis.
📉 Risk: The process of accumulating specific data may delay Cybercab’s expansion.
