NEWS: The engineer who leads Cybercab says he took 50 rides in days and never wanted to get out
Eric E., Tesla's Vehicle and Robotaxi Engineering Leader and Cybercab Engineering Lead, shared the reaction on X.
He rode the Cybercab 50 times over the past few days. Employee rides just began at Giga Texas.
In his words, "50 rides in over the last few days and I still never wanted to get out of it at the end of the ride."
Eric E. previously said the Cybercab has roughly half the parts of a Model 3.
The person who knows the car best is the one who does not want the ride to end.

NEWS: Tesla starts Cybercab employee rides at Giga Texas Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin, Dallas and Houston has run entirely on factory-built Model Y SUVs running Full Self-Driving. The purpose-built Cybercab has never carried a rider until now. The car has no steering wheel and no pedals. Video shows units 003 and 007 driving the factory campus autonomously. Giga Texas is the right proving ground. The factory is vast, so the Cybercab becomes real internal transport while Tesla gathers ride data. Cybercab has been in volume production since April. Over 100 units have been spotted at the factory. The fleet was built. The track was tested. Now the seats get filled. (Source: Tesla, July 10)
