inutes after winning Tesla shareholder approval for his unprecedented $1 trillion pay package at its annual meeting, a beaming Elon Musk took to the stage at the Austin plant to cheers from investor fans and board members to lay out his plans for the next couple of years. Chief among them: Cybercab, his vision for a dedicated, fully driverless, electric taxi and Tesla’s play for autonomous global transportation dominance.
Unlike its top-selling Model Y crossover, Model 3 sedan or even the Cybertruck – which has fallen far short of the billionaire CEO’s lofty volume goals – Cybercab is to be sold exclusively as a self-driving vehicle, without standard controls, according to Musk. It’s to be priced below $30,000, making it the company’s most affordable model. And according to Musk, it’s headed to market soon.
