Tesla's Robotaxi and Cybercab fleet in Texas tops 500 vehicles
Tesla's Texas-registered fleet -- 420 Model Y Robotaxis and 126 Cybercabs, 546 combined -- has topped 500 vehicles, with Cybercab registrations up from 45 earlier this month, signaling Tesla's robotaxi expansion is moving faster than expected.
According to Texas DMV vehicle registration data tracked by Tesla Oracle, Tesla's Austin robotaxi fleet has crossed the 500-vehicle mark, with 420 Model Y Robotaxis and 126 Cybercabs now registered -- 546 vehicles combined.
The Cybercab count has climbed to 126 from the 45 units reported earlier this month, a nearly threefold increase following the September 3 Austin unveiling event, where Tesla executives presented the purpose-built robotaxi without Elon Musk in attendance.
Registration counts differ from vehicles actively carrying paying riders -- being registered signals readiness for service, not confirmation that all 546 are on the road right now. Still, investors are watching the pace of registrations as a real-time proxy for how fast Tesla is scaling the business central to its valuation narrative.
Cybercabs have also been spotted outside Austin, including in Houston, fueling speculation that Tesla may be preparing to expand the service to a second Texas city.
