Cybercab Spotted Testing In Texas and California

The Cybercab was spotted by influencer Joe Tegtmeyer on Thursday as he was flying a drone over the Gigafactory in Texas, Tegtmeyer shared in a post on X with screenshots of the footage.

"Hard to say for sure, but this may indicate the vehicle has completed most of the final engineering & production tests out at Fremont and what remains is now at Giga Texas," he said in the post.

Tegtmeyer had also earlier posted footage of a "mysterious" compact Tesla model under wraps at the Giga factory in Texas, which could've been the Cybercab undergoing testing at the facility.
