With the cancellation of CT can we please get leftover seats option for 3rd row to silence those asking on X for a true 7 seater on CT chassis? Any whining about the location of the 2 outboard seats remind them “are u telling me there aren’t 2 family members everyone wouldn’t prefer to have outside the cab?”

Tesla Cybercab (purpose-built 2-seater Robotaxi): ~$25k estimated production cost, target under $30k.
Waymo standard (Jaguar I-PACE or newer Ojai, seats 2+): typically $100k–$200k fully equipped with autonomy hardware.
Tesla deploys roughly 3–4 Cybercabs for the cost of one Waymo vehicle.

Texas currently lists >125k annual capacity for both Cybertruck and Cybercab. Cybercab’s unboxed process uses ~50% less floor space per vehicle and targets far higher throughput (aiming for 10-second cycles). Converting the underutilized Cybertruck line should therefore free enough space, tooling, and resources for substantially more than another 125k Cybercabs per year—likely 200k+ additional once reconfigured and ramped—depending on how fully the higher-density layout is applied.

Around 200-500k Cybercabs in active US service would start the real pinch—dense coverage in major metros with sub-$0.30/mile rides and low wait times, undercutting ownership for many second cars and urban trips.
That scale looks reachable in 2028 if the Texas line (already >125k capacity, expanding as Cybertruck winds down) and new factories ramp as planned. Full checkmate on traditional volume sales probably needs 1M+ by ~2030, once utilization and cost advantages compound nationwide.

Waymo Ojai (current gen): ~$100-125k all-in (base ~$38k + tariffs + under $20-25k sensors/compute). Older Jaguar models were ~$200k.
Tesla Cybercab: ~$25k build cost (camera-only, purpose-built, half the parts of a Model 3/Y). Model Y fleet units are higher (~$30-40k production) but still far cheaper due to integrated vision HW.
Tesla fields 4+ vehicles for the price of one Waymo.

.@JDVance: "I was talking to my daughter who is 4 years old and I said...I'd like you to identify maybe a couple of toys you'd like to donate...she brings me two of her brothers' toys and I realized that despite my best efforts...I have apparently raised a Democrat."

Cal State East Bay or as I like to remind my kids, dad’s alma mater that was $6k tuition and books living at home all 4 years. Now with inflation that fee still a reasonable $32k all 4 years. Even NC State where we live is $40k. So why did they choose to have these huge loans? College experience? Choose wisely kids entering college. Living with mom and dad ain’t that bad a deal.

Most of us didn’t fully understand this NSF footage from McGregor in April/May 2026.
Inside that covered structure Tesla and SpaceX were quietly developing and testing the cold-gas thrusters, vertical lifts, hopper/testbed firings months before the Oct 15 public demo.
This was the secret sauce being cooked months earlier.
Theoretical Grok AI take on a pure “Corvette ZR1 EV”:
With multi-motor AWD, instant full torque, and advanced torque vectoring, a pure-EV Corvette of similar size and high power output (say 1,200–1,800+ hp) could realistically target 1.5–1.7 seconds to 60 mph and a low-to-mid 8-second quarter-mile under ideal conditions with sticky tires. Top speed would depend more on gearing, aerodynamics, power electronics limits, and cooling than raw power—but a dedicated high-speed setup could aim for the 220–250+ mph range.

Tesla minds at work in the busiest outlet mall in South Carolina! Yep, we got a pull through! But you can’t fit how are you gonna get your camper through here! Or my boat without ripping out a stall! #Tesla #Elonmusk #Cybertruck #Cyberbeast #Supercharger #Ididmyjob
