“Confirmed” means Tesla has shown the vehicle and given a timeline. It doesn’t mean every date or price is locked. The Model S and Model X aren’t on this list: Car and Driver reported that Tesla built the last ones at Fremont in May 2026.
Tesla Cybercab
Expected US arrival: Tesla says it will start selling Cybercabs to fleet operators by the end of 2026, TechCrunch reported. Expected price: not announced.

- Range: InsideEVs estimates about 293 miles from the unadjusted EPA test result. That’s its calculation, not an EPA label.
- Owner use: A Cybercab can’t be driven by a person, so private ownership depends on unsupervised FSD for customer cars, which Tesla targets for around Q2 2027. Our explainer on whether you can buy a Cybercab covers the catches.
