AUSTIN, Texas - Tesla nearly doubled its Cybercab count on the Texas books overnight. Sawyer Merritt reported early Friday that the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles list showed 319 Cybercabs registered for the Robotaxi fleet, up 150 from the previous total of 169. He called it a record single batch.
Robotaxi Radar posted the same move at 7:44 p.m. Central time on Thursday, minutes before Sawyer's note. Its Texas AV Tracker panel showed a live TxDMV snapshot of 739 Tesla Robotaxis in Texas, with 150 vehicles registered since midnight Central time. The composition board read 420 Model Ys and 319 Cybercabs.
Cybercabs now make up 43.2 percent of Tesla's registered Robotaxi fleet in Texas. Model Ys are 56.8 percent. The Model Y column has not moved from 420 since late September. Every new row on the Texas list in this wave is a purpose-built Cybercab.
Sawyer's post included a screenshot of the state vehicle table for cars in the new batch: 2026 Tesla Cybercab rows with distinct VINs. Nic Cruz Patane separately noted that Cybercabs now account for 43 percent of the Texas fleet after the 150-car add.
The climb has been steep. Cybercabs first appeared on the Texas list on 31 August. The count reached 169 on 2 October. Six days later it stands at 319. In a little more than five weeks, the purpose-built car has gone from zero to more than two in five of Tesla's Texas Robotaxi registrations.
This is a state registration count. It is not the same as how many Cybercabs are carrying paid riders at any moment. Texas asks operators of automated vehicles to file each car with the state. A Cybercab on that list may still be in testing, parked in a fleet lot, or waiting for its first paid trip. Tesla has not published an official Cybercab fleet number of its own.
Austin remains the only city where the public can pay for a Cybercab ride through Tesla's Robotaxi app. Each new registration gives Tesla one more car it can put into that service or send out on test miles elsewhere in Texas. A batch of 150 in one night is the largest single jump yet on the Texas list. Watch for the next update, and for any word from Tesla on how many of the 319 are already carrying passengers.
