By his own admission, Elon Musk is not often right with his prediction for timeline and for price, but he said cyber cab could go into production 2026.

They have one single prototype, and then some pricing around Optimus, the humanoid robot, the potential that it could be 20 to $30,000, imagining having your own.

sort of R2D2 in your own home. They did discuss the economics, kind of cost per mile of the robo taxi, but we didn't talk that much about the proprietary ride-hailing app, and that's where people wanted some of the specifics.
