Having electric brakes avoids the complexity of a hydraulic system: no need to rout plumbing all around the car
Cybercab uses individual actuators on each brake caliper. Zero brake lines or fluid.
This probably makes the unboxed process possible/easier because there are no brake lines running throughout the length of the vehicle, super neat.

The future of transportation
The future of transport is safer, more enjoyable & gives you more time back
With theater, music & gaming apps on a 22" touchscreen, Cybercab offers you a space to be productive or unwind
Soon to be equipped with V5 Starlink hardware, too, for complete connectivity

An extraordinary map shows the extent that births have fallen around the world.
France, Germany, Italy and the UK peaked in births more than 100 years ago.
East Asia, Russia and much of Eastern Europe are now 75% below their peaks in births!
Thanks @ErminiaDark
A map of the peak birth years of each country and their decline since then. Produced with Wikipedia articles, a calculator, and a lot of autism.
We live well into the age of demographic decline.

Starlink will allow you to watch 4k live video while riding in Cybercab
Starlink V5 will soon be integrated directly into Cybercab, delivering seamless connectivity for vehicle operations and passenger entertainment even in locations with poor or high traffic cellular service

I’m so glad this is being done!
An important next step is making it autonomous.
This is the electric plane Elon dreamed of!
Anders Forslund of Heart Aerospace joins @Jason to show off their electric plane, which used up just $5 worth of power for a full 20-minute trip.
Could this change short-haul flights? What locations would these flights best be used at?

Probably over 30k people working in high-paying jobs at Tesla HQ & manufacturing in Austin by 2028!
Texans love Robotaxi
They are all made in Austin by local people and with parts mostly sourced within the USA
About 16,500 people work for Tesla at Giga Texas and in the Austin area
Thank you Elon Musk ♥️

And we are taking corrective action to ensure this does not happen again
We are sorry for the issues you may have experienced with Grok following an outage at our Memphis compute center this morning. We’d also like to apologize to our impacted compute partners.
All systems have now been restored and are functioning nominally.

I am not exaggerating, there are Unsupervised Cybercabs without steering wheels or pedals all over Austin, TX right now at almost every corner.
It is SO BEAUTIFUL on the road. The glossy gold (first time seeing it) is stunning in the sun. I also LOVE how massive the wheels look.
This is literally the future. I’m in @Robotaxi heaven right now.

Cybercabs have no steering wheels or pedals. They are designed and built for maximally efficient autonomous operation.
Driving around Austin, Texas with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old when we spotted a driverless Tesla Cybercab in the wild.
So naturally… we started chasing it.
My kids grabbed the phone and filmed the whole thing.
This is literally their footage.
And then it hit me…
They may be two of the youngest kids in the world to ever see a driverless Cybercab operating on public roads.
Something they would not see today if they were at school today.
I don’t think they fully understand how big this moment is yet.
They just see a cool car driving itself.
But this is the world they’re going to grow up in.
A world where cars drive themselves, Robotaxis pick you up, and transportation looks completely different from what Daddy grew up with.
To me, this feels like the future.
To them, it might just feel normal.
One day they’ll look back at this video and realize they were there when that future was just beginning.

Warning: This Carl Sagan explaination has caused existential crises.
He explains how 5th dimensional beings perceive 3D creatures, and the implications are so disturbing, I paused it three times.
He said:
A being from the 5th dimension could reach into your locked house, take an object off your kitchen table, and place it in orbit around Jupiter without ever crossing a wall, a door, or the vacuum of space.
People ridiculed when Carl Sagan said this.
But, he was walking through the cleanest piece of geometric logic in modern physics, and most people who watched it never realized what he actually gave them.
The demonstration starts small.
Imagine a flat creature living on a sheet of paper. Its entire universe is length and width. It has no concept of "up" because up doesn't exist in its world. The direction is literally unthinkable to its nervous system.
Now take a three-dimensional apple and push it slowly through the paper.
What does the flat creature see?
A dot appears from nowhere. The dot expands into a circle. The circle grows, shrinks, then collapses back into nothing. The apple was always whole. The flatlander only ever perceived cross-sections of something its dimensions could not contain.
That's the entire trick.
Sagan's move was to rotate the analogy upward and let you feel the vertigo yourself.
You are the flatlander. Your body, your brain, your sensory apparatus evolved to process three spatial dimensions and one directional slice of time.
Anything existing in a higher dimension would pass through your world the same way that apple passed through the paper. As fragments, apparitions, sudden appearances, inexplicable disappearances.
A 4D being could see every organ in your body simultaneously from the outside, the way you can see every room of a dollhouse at once from above.
A 5D being could observe your entire lifetime from every version of you from infant to corpse like a single unmoving sculpture stretched across time.
What's interesting is it's a direct consequence of how dimensions mathematically nest inside one another.
Every dimension has full access to the interior of the one below it. A 3D hand can touch any point inside a 2D square without crossing its edges. A 4D hand could touch any point inside your sealed body without breaking your skin.
Sagan has really handed us a quiet reframe of every "impossible" phenomenon humans have reported for thousands of years like visions, presences, objects moving through walls, beings that seem to know your past and future.
Though his Geometry doesn't confirm any of it. But it removes the argument that such things would violate physics.
