Tesla’s two-seater Robotaxi, the Cybercab, with no steering wheel or pedals, is about to make its first appearance in Australia after one was spotted – under cover – at the company’s Alexandria showroom in Sydney.
In a photo shared by Arnie G on Tesla Owners Australia Facebook group, a car under wrap was spotted with a profile matching the Cybercab. This vehicle is likely to be here for a showcase, similar to a showcase being undertaken in Shanghai and Tokyo recently, and could well be seen at the Everything Electric event in Sydney this week.
Tesla first revealed the Cybercab at the company’s “We, Robot” event in November 2024. The event included hundreds of demos of the Cybercab and Model Y Robotaxis on closed roads.
Since then, Tesla has been testing the model in many parts of the US and has even been spotted testing in New Zealand in recent months.
The Cybercab is expected to cost around the equivalent of $A45,000 as a self-driving robotaxi – in those places where it has regulatory approval – with plenty of rear space and fewer interior parts than its other passenger-car products.
Production of the unique two-seater vehicle started in April 2026, with thousands of the vehicles being produced since, mainly for testing and operations purposes.
Key specs of the model were teased through EPA approval documentation in the US, showing that Tesla’s lightest model, with the smallest battery, will deliver an impressive 600+ km of range. It also showed that the vehicle had a kerb weight of 1,412 kg and is powered by smaller battery pack, which feeds the front motor.
In recent months its also been confirmed that the production Cybercabs will be coming with a 22-inch centre screen, which is the biggest of any Tesla, as well as Starlink hardware for internet.
Since the two-seater vehicle’s recent launch in Texas, riders can now book a vehicle using the Robotaxi app and is expected to cost lower than an equivalent Uber ride in Austin.
We expect further deployments in other parts of the US before international market launches in years to come.
