Tesla unveiled the first Tesla Robotaxi at its "Frunk or Treat" event in Giga Texas in daylight. After the futuristic, autonomous electric car had previously only been shown as part of the "We, Robot" night event in California, the presentation in the sunlight provided interesting insights into the unique design. What makes the Tesla Robotaxi so special and what does it mean for the future of electromobility?
Tesla Robotaxi with a new look: premiere in daylight
The Tesla Robotaxialso known as the Cybercab, is no ordinary model. While the first presentations of the Robotaxi took place at night, there was now a complete picture in daylight. The bright, painted aluminum body - lighter and cheaper than the Cybertruck's stainless steel - gives the vehicle a striking look. The design lines were particularly striking, appearing softer in the sunlight and creating a sleek Tesla-aesthetics.

Futuristic details: wheels, brakes and lighting
A highlight of the Robotaxi are the large 21-inch wheelswheels, which were shown without the familiar covers and feature five spokes in a design that no other car can match. Tesla-model has. The bright red brake calipers, inspired by the Model 3 Performance, reinforce the sporty look. The rear light bar, similar to that of the recently updated Model Y Juniper refresh, remains highly visible even in daylight and reinforces the futuristic appearance of the Robotaxi.

Without steering wheel and pedals: fully autonomous driving at Tesla
A particularly fascinating detail of the Tesla Robotaxi is the lack of steering wheel and pedals. The vehicle was driven at the event, but without driver control - which suggests that it was driven with Full Self-Driving (FSD) was operated. Tesla emphasizes that the Robotaxi is intended to drive fully autonomously and plans to make the first models available for widespread testing in North America. With a fleet of around 19 vehicles Tesla well prepared to further stimulate interest in autonomous vehicles.
What does the Robotaxi mean for the future?
With the Robotaxi strives Tesla for a massive upheaval in the mobility sector: the fully autonomous driving service is set to revolutionize the way we move around cities. Tesla is leading the way with innovative production methods and striking design ideas. If the robotaxi goes into series production, the cost-efficient materials and high production capacities could enable a broad market launch - another sign of how Tesla the future of mobility.
Conclusion and outlook
The new Tesla Robotaxi once again demonstrates Tesla's innovative strength. With its futuristic design elements and vision for autonomous mobility, the Robotaxi could change the urban transportation system and set a new standard. The Robotaxi remains an exciting project for the future, which will hopefully soon be made accessible to the general public at further events.
