Key Takeaways
The Tesla Cybercab, a two-door robotaxi and electric vehicle (EV), has moved closer to mass production in North America with the company filing official documents with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), revealing key specs such as a weight of 1,412 kilograms and a power output of 169 horsepower.
The Cybercab features a 48 kWh battery, providing an estimated range of approximately 470 kilometres, making it suitable for urban and regional electric vehicle driving in Canada, with a potential range of up to 673 kilometres under ideal laboratory conditions.
The Cybercab is expected to be eligible for the Canadian government's iZEV incentive program, offering a rebate of up to $5,000, and may be priced under $40,000 CAD, making it an attractive option for Canadian electric vehicle buyers, with a potential launch in the Canadian market before 2027.
Tesla Cybercab Moves Closer to Mass Production in North America
The Tesla Cybercab, a two-door robotaxi, has taken a significant step towards mass production, with the company filing official documents with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These documents, which were first spotted by Car and Driver, reveal key specifications such as the vehicle's weight, power output, and battery size. Although the Cybercab's Canadian pricing and availability have not been officially announced, it is expected to be eligible for the Canadian government's iZEV incentive program, which offers a rebate of up to $5,000 for eligible electric vehicles.
Key Specifications of the Tesla Cybercab
The documents confirm that the Cybercab will weigh approximately 1,412 kilograms, which is significantly lighter than the Chevrolet Bolt, weighing in at around 1,719 kilograms. The Cybercab's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 1,694 kilograms, allowing for a payload capacity of around 280 kilograms. This is relatively low compared to other passenger vehicles, but suitable for a two-door car. The Cybercab will be equipped with a single, front-mounted permanent magnet motor, producing 169 horsepower (163 kW). The vehicle will also feature a 146 amp-hour battery running at 326 volts, providing a total energy capacity of 47,596 watt-hours (or approximately 48 kWh).
Estimated Range of the Tesla Cybercab
According to the EPA test cycle, the Cybercab achieved a combined range of 418.226 miles (or approximately 673 kilometres). However, this range is based on ideal laboratory conditions and will need to be adjusted to reflect real-world driving conditions. Using the EPA's standard adjustment factor of 0.7, the estimated range would be around 292.7 miles (or approximately 470 kilometres). This is consistent with Tesla's claim of "close to 300 miles of range" for the Cybercab. In Canadian terms, this translates to a range of around 470 kilometres, making it suitable for urban and regional driving.
Production and Pricing
While Tesla has announced that Cybercab production has begun, the company has not disclosed how many units have been produced. The pricing and availability of the Cybercab in Canada also remain unclear, although it is expected to be competitively priced with other electric vehicles in the market. With the Canadian government's iZEV incentive program and provincial rebates, such as those offered in British Columbia and Quebec, the Cybercab may be eligible for significant discounts, making it an attractive option for Canadian buyers. As Tesla continues to test its autonomous driving software, the Cybercab is expected to launch in the Canadian market in the near future, potentially before 2027, with a price tag under $40,000 CAD.
