Tesla's own capacity table puts the Cybercab in production in Texas and lists the Texas Optimus robot line as still under construction
Tesla published its update for the third quarter of 2026 on October 21st. It says the company began putting the Cybercab into its Robotaxi fleet in Austin. Its table of installed annual capacity lists the Cybercab in Texas at more than 125,000 a year and in production. Model Y in Texas stands at more than 375,000 and the Cybertruck at more than 125,000. The same table lists Optimus, the company's humanoid robot, in Texas as under construction. Production of the robot began on lines in Fremont in California. Tesla says installed capacity is not the current production rate. The update gives no count of Cybercabs built or carrying riders. It lists two AI training compute sites in Texas. Cortex 1 is listed at more than 105 megawatts and Cortex 2 at more than 120. The company says it kept building an Austin chip fab where it plans to start commissioning equipment in 2027.
