AUSTIN, Texas - Tesla has put another 30 Cybercabs on the Texas books. Sawyer Merritt reported late Wednesday, Central time, that the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles list now shows 349 Cybercabs registered for Tesla's Robotaxi fleet, up from 319.
The Texas AV Tracker account posted the same move three minutes earlier, at 9:32 p.m. Central time, and put Tesla's full Texas Robotaxi fleet at 769 vehicles. Tsla Chan's chart of the state data shows the split: 349 Cybercabs and 420 Model Ys, with the total up from 739.
The Model Y column has not moved. It has read 420 since late September, so every addition in the last three weeks has been a purpose-built Cybercab. Cybercabs now make up about 45 percent of Tesla's registered Robotaxi fleet in Texas, up from 43 percent after the last batch.
This is the first new batch since 9 October, when Tesla registered a record 150 Cybercabs in a single night and lifted the count from 169 to 319. Sawyer's post included a screenshot of the state table for the new cars: 2026 model-year Tesla Cybercab rows, each with its own VIN.
The climb has been steep. Cybercabs first appeared on the Texas list on 31 August. The count reached 169 on 2 October and 319 on 9 October, and it stands at 349 today. Another 72 registrations would put Cybercabs ahead of Model Ys on Tesla's Texas list for the first time.
This is a state registration count, not a live tally of cars carrying paid riders. Texas asks operators of automated vehicles to file each car with the state, and Tesla's registrations have arrived in batches. A Cybercab on the 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, and Tesla AI chief Ashok Elluswamy has said Dallas is coming soon. Each new row on the Texas list is one more car Tesla can put into that service or send out on test miles elsewhere in the state. At 349 and counting, the Cybercab is on track to become the majority of Tesla's Texas fleet.
