Tesla’s Rumored “Cybercab” Robotaxi Prototype Spotted Near Warner Bros. Studio

A heavily camouflaged vehicle, believed to be Tesla’s upcoming Robotaxi “Cybercab” prototype, has been photographed near a Tesla Model Y. The alleged prototype appears to be a two-seater, notably smaller than Tesla’s popular electric crossover.

Recent speculation suggests Tesla plans to unveil its highly anticipated Robotaxi at Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, California. While Tesla has not officially confirmed this location, evidence points to increased activity in the area:

  1. Tesla hacker @greentheonly reported extensive data collection around the studio.
  2. Reddit user u/dent3dwheel observed a fleet of Tesla test vehicles operating near the studio for the past week.
  3. Another Reddit user, u/boopitysmopp, who works nearby, corroborated these sightings.

Key observations from the leaked image:

While Tesla remains tight-lipped about Robotaxi details, the company confirmed in its Q2 2024 Update Letter that the vehicle will be:

  • Produced using Tesla’s “unboxed” process
  • Manufactured at Gigafactory Texas

Tesla has also announced a contest for retail shareholders to win attendance at the upcoming Robotaxi unveiling event, indicating that preparations are underway.

As anticipation builds, this potential prototype sighting offers a tantalizing glimpse of Tesla’s vision for the future of autonomous transportation.
