Korea Calling: Tesla Sets Cybercab Showcase For 12 November As Car Lands In Melbourne

ANSEONG, South Korea - Tesla is bringing the Cybercab to South Korea. Tesla Korea announced on Tuesday that the two-seat robotaxi will go on public display from 12 to 15 November at Starfield Anseong, a large shopping complex in Gyeonggi Province.

"Meet the future, Cybercab in Korea," the company's Korean account wrote, describing the car as a vehicle that "turns an amazing future into reality." Tesla said more details would follow. The post has drawn nearly 60,000 views on X.

A day later and roughly 8,000 kilometres to the south, Tesla Australia & New Zealand posted a short video of a gold Cybercab being unloaded from a flatbed truck outside a Tesla store and service centre. "Cybercab officially on Melbourne ground," the account wrote on Wednesday. The clip passed 65,000 views and 2,200 likes by Wednesday morning in Britain.

The footage shows the car rolling off the truck and through the store's glass doors, its full-width light bar glowing, ahead of what fans expect to be another round of showroom visits in Australia. Tesla first toured the Cybercab through Australian stores in September, including an exhibition in Sydney.

Both stops are displays. Tesla has not announced Cybercab rides or a Robotaxi service in Korea or Australia, and its Korean post made no mention of sales.

The Asia-Pacific dates land alongside a bigger push in Europe, where Tesla's 12-city Cybercab tour opens at Autoshow Zürich on Thursday and runs through January.

At home, the program keeps growing. Tesla opened its Robotaxi service in Fort Worth on Monday, and Texas motor vehicle records, as tracked by Tesla watchers, list 573 Cybercabs registered to Tesla Robotaxi LLC.

For Korean drivers who have only seen the car on a phone screen, the wait now runs eight days.
