Tesla added seven purpose-built Cybercabs to Texas's official autonomous vehicle registry three days before its September 3 Austin launch event, bringing Tesla's authorized Texas robotaxi fleet to 276 vehicles — 269 Model Ys plus the new Cybercabs.

Tesla's steering-wheel-and-pedal-free Cybercab has appeared on Texas's official autonomous vehicle registry (TxMCCS) for the first time — seven of them, registered just three days ahead of the September 3 Austin launch event.

The addition brings Tesla's total authorized Texas robotaxi fleet to 276 vehicles, combining 269 Model Ys with the new Cybercabs, though reports suggest only a low-dozens count are actively operating at any given time.

The September 3 event is invite-only for top scorers in Tesla's Robotaxi rider sweepstakes, with a livestream planned for everyone else. Cybercab will join the modified Model Ys that have powered Tesla's Austin robotaxi service since last year.
