Tesla’s purpose-built Cybercab now outnumbers the Model Y in the company’s Texas robotaxi fleet for the first time, according to Texas DMV records reviewed on Tuesday, October 27.
The listing for Tesla Robotaxi, LLC shows 1,051 authorized vehicles, all 2026 model year: 544 Cybercabs and 507 Model Ys. That flips the mix we tracked in early October, when Tesla’s Texas registry held 319 Cybercabs against 420 Model Ys and 739 vehicles overall.
Cybercab is the two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals. Tesla Robotaxi, LLC, based at 1 Tesla Road in Austin, has held Authorized status since May 14, 2026, and the state roster is where those cars appear before they reach city streets.
Since that October 9 count, Tesla has added 225 Cybercabs and 87 Model Ys to the Texas books, lifting the total by 312. Cybercabs now make up about 52 percent of the authorized fleet, up from roughly 43 percent three weeks ago, while the Model Y share has slipped below half.
Production pace helps explain the shift. Tesla’s Cybercab line in Texas is building cars faster than the company is deploying them, which keeps more two-seaters ready for the state credentialing system. Austin riders have already seen that volume on the road, including an F1 weekend swarm of more than 50 Cybercabs around Circuit of the Americas.
Registry pages only list VINs, model year, make and model, so they do not show where each car runs, whether it is headed for Austin or Dallas, or how many are carrying paying riders on a given day. What they do show is clear: for the first time, Cybercab is the majority vehicle on Tesla’s Texas robotaxi authorization.
How many Cybercabs do you think Tesla will have on the Texas registry by the end of the year?
