Tesla Cybercab teardown shows a repairable battery and 25-station final line
Munro Live published a teardown of Tesla's Cybercab and a tour of its Giga Texas production line, guided by Tesla vehicle engineering VP Lars Moravy and Cybercab lead Eric Earley, according to Tesla fan site Not a Tesla App.
The robotaxi still uses Tesla's 4680 cells, but splits them into separate potted modules, so one failed module can be swapped instead of the whole pack. Tesla also dropped the pyro fuse, skips the paint shop and says the car is built to run at least 500,000 miles. Final assembly is 25 fully automated stations, and the whole line is about 78% automated, per Tesla.
Why it matters
These are Tesla's own figures, relayed from Munro's video. Not a Tesla App reports the line is already outpacing robotaxi deployments, so it doesn't run every day.
