According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla's upcoming Cybercab will debut with the AI4 chip, which is already present in current Tesla vehicles. This launch strategy allows existing AI4 owners to benefit from new features without immediate hardware upgrades. Merritt confirms that AI5 chips will begin integration in Tesla vehicles around mid-2027, but a significant update to Full Self-Driving (FSD) software leveraging AI5’s advanced capabilities is not expected until late 2027 or early 2028 (source: x.com/elonmusk/status/1989835743829922168). For businesses and investors, this staggered rollout offers continued market appetite for AI4 vehicles, extending the life cycle of the current hardware platform and providing opportunities in FSD software, retrofitting solutions, and AI-powered mobility services.
