Key Points:
- Tesla is hosting its Cybercab event tomorrow in Austin, Texas, marking the first time the public can ride in a fully autonomous vehicle without manual controls on public roads, signaling a major step toward driverless ride-hailing services.
- The event remains low on specifics, but Tesla aims to showcase the Cybercab’s readiness for public use and possibly announce plans for selling the vehicle to consumers for use in a global Robotaxi fleet.
- Tesla Model Y L owners in China have reported rear suspension issues causing the rear wheels to "collapse," leading to abnormal tire wear; Tesla has not yet acknowledged or recalled affected vehicles.
- SpaceX has filed with the FCC for permission to fly Starlink terminals on Starship’s upcoming fourteenth flight, which aims for the program’s first orbital insertion and deployment of operational Starlink satellites.
- The Cybercab launch represents a significant milestone for Tesla as it prepares to roll out a fully self-driving vehicle built entirely in-house, though the expansion of the service is expected to be gradual with a strong emphasis on safety.
