As long as you dont get locked in your car.

A production Cybercab testing automated parking at an Austin Supercharger ended up angled too far from the stall for the charging cable to reach, and the fix revealed something interesting about how Tesla handles manual control in a car with no steering wheel. A test engineer inside the vehicle held down directional buttons displayed on the central touchscreen, driving out of the space and reversing into a better position, all without touching a single physical control. The Cybercab's cabin has no steering column, no stalks and no foot pedals whatsoever, yet service technicians, emergency responders and factory staff still need some way to inch the vehicle around a workshop or reposition it during maintenance. Building those controls into the display handles that requirement without cluttering an interior designed specifically to do without them. Nobody is going to commute using onscreen buttons, and that was never the intention, since the entire vehicle is engineered around Full Self-Driving doing the driving. The footage surfaced as Tesla began adding Cybercabs to its Robotaxi fleet in Texas according to recent regulatory filings, with geofences expanding in both Austin and Dallas and the official launch event scheduled for Thursday.

Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla vehicles will soon be able to steer around potholes, addressing one of the more practical gaps in Full Self-Driving. The feature has appeared under upcoming improvements in Tesla's release notes for some time, and owners have already caught early versions of the behaviour in the wild, including a clip showing a Tesla easing across a yellow line on an empty road to avoid a large pothole. The consequence goes beyond ride comfort. Tires blowing out after hitting a pothole at speed is a genuine risk, particularly on Performance variants running low-profile rubber and expensive wheels where there is little sidewall to absorb the impact. The Cybertruck's higher-profile tires and ground clearance make it far less vulnerable, but for the Model 3 Performance and similar configurations, a single pothole can mean a four-figure repair. What makes the capability interesting technically is that Tesla likely didn't program it explicitly. FSD appears to have learned the behaviour from large volumes of video showing how human drivers react to road damage, the same emergent learning that taught it to slow for roadside police and respond to hand signals.

Tesla's dedicated Optimus factory at Giga Texas is rising quickly, and the economics driving it explain why the company is building at such scale. Fresh drone footage shows steel trusses going up, expanded crane activity, and concrete work advancing across a site that was bare dirt as recently as March. The facility is designed for a long-term annual capacity of around 10 million humanoid robots. The cost trajectory is what makes the project consequential. Early Optimus units currently run somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000 to manufacture, with one Morgan Stanley breakdown of the Gen 2 bill of materials landing around $55,000, and the legs representing the single most expensive component. Tesla is targeting roughly $20,000 per unit at high volume, with a consumer price between $20,000 and $30,000 once scale arrives. Set that against fully loaded US manufacturing labor costs, frequently cited between $95,000 and $120,000 per year, and the appeal becomes obvious for repetitive factory, warehouse, and logistics work. Bullish analyst scenarios suggest the effective operating cost could fall to low single digits per hour with multi-shift utilization. Plenty has to go right first, including cost reduction, supply chain ex*****on, and real-world reliability, with meaningful volume targeted for summer 2027.
