Elon Musk says “tens of millions of driverless Teslas” on the way as new interior details emerge

Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has been clear with his goals to an autonomous electric vehicle transportation future. He now says that tens of millions of driverless Tesla’s are on the way to revolutionise transportation in our cities.

“There will ultimately be tens of millions of driverless Teslas throughout the world giving rides 24/7”, Musk says a post on X, which he owns.

To put that number in context, Tesla produced it’s 7-millionth vehicle in October after 16 years of producing electric cars.

The post on X came in response to a video of Musk getting inside Tesla’s own two-seater robotaxi, which the company calls the Cybercab, before it drives off.

That drive was on a test track at the We Robot event Tesla held at Warner Bros studios in California back in October.

Since then, multiple details about the vehicle have been revealed, particularly focusing on the design and operational capabilities of the vehicle.

We now also have an interior view of the vehicle thanks to Tesla Owners Club of Silicon Valley which was reshared by Musk himself.

In the video, we get a closer look at the interior and how much space there actually is inside. An adult with a height of 6 feet and 2 inches can fit in quite easily with adequate legroom as well as reasonable clearance above the head when seated.

Part of the reason is good use of space when steering wheel, pedals and most buttons are taken out of the interior which is whats found in most regular cars today.

There are also two cup holders in the centre console as well as two switches for the windows.

Aside from that, the interior features a light bar that runs from one end to the other, similar to thar seen in Tesla’s Model 3, the Cybertruck and likely in the upcoming Model Y refresh.

Of course in the centre is a large 21-inch screen which is used for route navigation, trip information as well as passenger entertainment.

In recent weeks, other key details of the $A45,000 Tesla Cybercab have also emerged. It includes wireless charging capabilities of up to 25 kW and a reduction in body parts of up to 50% when compared to a standard Tesla Model 3.

Other key details of the Cybercab include a strong focus on efficiency to ensure Tesla can get the most out of every single charge while reducing the cost of every trip down.

The Cybercab is expected to go into production in 2026 and will use Tesla’s full self driving (FSD) software when it finally hits the streets of US in under 24 months.

It still depends on regulatory approval, although the new Trump administration, of which Musk has emerged as a key player in his role as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency, has promised to sweep aside regulatory barriers to business.
