Swiss Roll: Cybercab Opens Its Europe Tour At Auto Zürich

Tesla's gold two-seater was on Tesla's stand in Zürich by Wednesday, and the public gets its first look from today. It is the first of 12 stops across Europe, and a display only.

ZÜRICH - The Cybercab has landed in Switzerland. Tesla's purpose-built robotaxi was on Tesla's stand at Auto Zürich by Wednesday, ahead of the public opening on Thursday, the first stop on a 12-city tour of Europe that runs into January.

Photos taken at the Tesla stand by the French tech site Mac4ever, and shared by the owners' club Tesla Suisse Romande, show the gold two-seater under the hall lights with both butterfly doors raised. Inside there is no steering wheel and no pedals, only a pair of seats facing a single centre screen carrying the Cybercab logo. The same hand-drawn script runs across the tail, above a full-width light bar.

The public can see it from today until Sunday at Messe Zürich. The show opens from 10am to 9pm local time on Thursday and Friday and from 10am to 7pm at the weekend. Entry needs a show ticket, which the organisers price at CHF 23 online or CHF 26 at the door, according to Tesla.rocks.

Tesla's events page invites visitors to get up close, take photos and explore the design. It does not offer rides. The tour is a showcase, with no European sales, prices or Robotaxi service announced.

Zürich is the opening act of the 12-city tour Tesla announced on Monday. The car moves on to Tesla stores in Bratislava and Düsseldorf on 20 and 21 November, then Prague, Hamburg, Warsaw, Berlin, Bucharest, Munich and Budapest before Christmas. It closes at the Brussels Motor Show and Vienna Drive in January. Germany has four stops, the most of any country.

The Swiss debut lands on a busy day for the car around the world. The production Cybercab is also on Tesla's stand at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, which opens on Thursday, and another has just arrived in Melbourne for display at Tesla's stores there.

Europeans are seeing a car that is already at work at home. Cybercab rides are running in Austin, and Tesla said on its third-quarter earnings call that it aims to deliver the first Cybercabs to customers by the end of this year, according to Not a Tesla App.

For now, Zürich gets the look. The ride will have to wait.

Inside there is no steering wheel and no pedals, only a pair of seats facing a single centre screen.
