Elon Musk has finally fulfilled his ‘promise’ to introduce a Tesla car model without pedals and a steering wheel through the unveiling of the Robotaxi, also known as the Cybercab.

At first glance, the Robotaxi is a two-door coupe car that can only accommodate two people at a time and offers a fairly large cargo space.

Through its butterfly-wing doors, you can actually see the cabin of the Cybercab indeed has no steering wheel and pedals.

According to Elon Musk, the Robotaxi does not have a traditional charging port, as it relies entirely on wireless (inductive) charging.

There are no detailed specifications available regarding the electric propulsion unit used in the Robotaxi.

Interestingly, Elon Musk claims that the price of a Robotaxi will start below $30,000 (~RM130,000), with production planned to begin in 2026 or 2027.

Another concept model without a steering wheel showcased is the Robovan, which resembles a wheeled toaster. It lacks a front mirror, replaced instead by a large display screen inside.

The Robovan can accommodate up to 20 people at a time.

Both the Robotaxi and Robovan will rely on the Full-Self Driving autonomous driving software to operate on real roads.

Only time will tell whether this software can be trusted or not, given that Tesla already has a poor track record for the existing Full Self-Driving system in its current models.
