He also unveiled the highly anticipated Robotaxi’s – which is a two-door vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, designed to potentially revolutionise the rideshare industry.
The new additions to the Tesla fleet are part of Musks’ plan to operate a system of self-driving taxi’s called ‘Cybercabs’, that passengers can hail through an app.
Musk said that production will start in 2026, with Robotaxi’s to become available to buy for less than $30,000 USD.
