EV maker Tesla TSLA -2.70% ▼ appears to be speeding up Cybercab test production as it moves closer to mass manufacturing, which is expected to begin next month. Indeed, drone footage on X from user Joe Tegtmeyer recently captured what appears to be the largest public sighting of Cybercabs so far. In the footage, 14 metallic gold Cybercabs were parked together outside a factory exit.

At the same time, nine additional units were positioned at the crash-testing facility, likely going through safety and structural checks, while two more were spotted at the west end-of-line area for final inspections. Tegtmeyer also observed that Cybercabs were actively driving around the complex. In total, 25 vehicles were seen throughout the factory property. Interestingly, this ramp-up comes after the first production Cybercab rolled off the line in mid-February 2026, earlier than the initially expected April timeline.

As a result, that milestone was considered to be the start of low-volume builds on Tesla’s new “unboxed” manufacturing line, which is a modular system that’s designed to lower costs and speed up assembly. Now, with dozens of vehicles visible, industry watchers believe that Tesla has entered into higher-volume test manufacturing. However, challenges such as software development, regulatory approvals, and supply chain scaling still need to be addressed before the vehicle reaches roads in the U.S. and internationally.
