According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has started producing battery packs for selected Model Y vehicles using their advanced 4680 cells. The company now manufactures dry-electrode 4680 cells with both anode and cathode produced in Austin, Texas. Tesla also expects to use domestically sourced cathode materials and local LFP lines, signaling increased vertical integration and potential cost savings. This step is expected to improve battery efficiency and support Tesla's scaling of electric vehicle production, as reported by Sawyer Merritt.

According to Sawyer Merritt on X (formerly Twitter), there are now at least 7 Tesla Cybercabs actively testing on public roads in Austin and the Bay Area, as confirmed by robotaxitracker.com (Source: Sawyer Merritt, robotaxitracker.com/vehicles). This development marks a significant milestone in autonomous vehicle deployment and highlights Tesla's accelerated push into the AI-driven robotaxi market. The ongoing public-road testing signals rapid progress in Tesla's full self-driving AI capabilities, offering new business opportunities in urban mobility, ride-hailing, and smart city integration. Industry observers note that scaling up real-world testing is essential for regulatory acceptance and mass commercialization of AI-powered autonomous taxis.

According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Tesla's Robotaxi fleet in Austin is set to double in December, as confirmed by Elon Musk (source: x.com/elonmusk/status/1993538258253607260). This move highlights Tesla's aggressive push into AI-driven autonomous vehicle technology and commercial robotaxi services. The expansion is expected to enhance the deployment of Full Self-Driving (FSD) AI systems, accelerating real-world data collection and facilitating faster regulatory acceptance. For businesses, this signals expanding opportunities in AI-powered mobility solutions, fleet management, and ride-hailing platforms. The scaling of Tesla's robotaxi operations could reshape the mobility-as-a-service market and set new benchmarks for AI adoption in urban transportation (source: x.com/elonmusk/status/1993538258253607260).
