Tesla has begun sending invitations for its Cybercab launch event and has now confirmed the date: September 3, 2026, in Austin, Texas. The company had previously named Austin as the location while running a sweepstakes that offered Robotaxi riders and other eligible entrants a chance to attend, including options to enter without taking a Robotaxi.
Cybercab Event
The invitations include additional details about the Cybercab Launch Event. Tesla describes the event as a chance to “experience the future of autonomy,”.
Attendees may bring one approved guest, but the guest cannot be a content creator. Food and refreshments will be available. While the sweepstakes allowed entries from those 18 or older, Tesla now requires attendees to be at least 21 to enter the event, and IDs will be checked.
Invitees have until August 30 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time to RSVP. Additional instructions will be provided by email after registration is confirmed.
The invitation confirms September 3 as the event date for the first time. When Tesla first announced the event through its Robotaxi account, it stated that riders completing trips through August 23 could earn chances to attend, with sweepstakes winners selected August 25.
More Robotaxi Vehicle Types
The Cybercab will not be the only robotaxi vehicle in Tesla’s plans. Following meetings with Tesla’s Investor Relations team, JPMorgan said Tesla reiterated that Cybercab is only the first purpose-built Robotaxi form factor. Additional vehicle types are planned, with Robovan cited as an example.
Tesla has also said it is intentionally limiting additions of Model Y vehicles to its Robotaxi fleet as it prepares to scale Cybercab. FSD V15 is already being tested in the robotaxi fleet, with there apparently being seven areas of improvement.
