TAMPA, Fla. - A gold Cybercab sat on a Supercharger stall here long enough for a Cybertruck to take a 10-80 percent charge beside it, and the cab was still there when the truck was done.
@PhonguyenFL posted the stall shots on Sunday: onboard charging for the Cybercab "looks pretty slow." Robotaxi Radar amplified the pictures today and added the witness line. He charged his Cybertruck from 10-80 percent. The two-seater had not left.
The reason is not a Tesla statement. Radar listed the honest range: the charge may have finished earlier, the car may have been waiting on a driver, or it may be an older test unit. Tesla has not disclosed how long a Cybercab takes to charge. Public estimates in the same thread put 10-80 percent in a 20-to-30-minute window. This sighting does not prove or disprove that clock.
A long Supercharger stop is not a Tampa hail. Unsupervised Model Y robotaxi rides already run here. Public Cybercab hail remains Austin. What the pictures show is hardware in Florida, on a public stall, next to a Cybertruck, taking its time.
Keep the product lanes straight. Cybercab was designed around high-utilization taxi work, including a later wireless-charge story Tesla has already described in public. These Tampa frames are a plug-in stop on a Supercharger island, not a wireless pad and not an app button for local riders.
