Giga Texas shows 15 Cybercabs, slab work
- Drone footage published April 27 showed about 15 gold Tesla Cybercabs parked at Gigafactory Texas as fresh slab pours spread across the north campus. - The same flight showed deep excavations, footing work and utility buildout at Tesla’s planned Optimus area, plus continuing preparation near the chip-fab site. - The activity follows Tesla’s April 22 update saying Texas is being readied for a second-generation Optimus line built for 10 million units yearly.

A new drone flight over Gigafactory Texas showed about 15 gold Cybercabs parked in Tesla’s outbound lot and fresh slab work spreading across the north campus. (youtube.com) Joe Tegtmeyer’s April 27 video said more Cybercabs were moving over from the main factory, while crews poured concrete and cut deep excavations with footings nearby. (youtube.com) The same footage showed road extensions, cooling equipment, pond work and active site preparation around the area watchers have tied to Tesla’s chip-fab plans. (youtube.com) Those construction details line up with Tesla’s April 22 first-quarter update, which said the company is preparing Gigafactory Texas for a second-generation Optimus line. (tesla.com) Tesla said the first-generation Optimus line in Fremont is designed for 1 million robots a year, while the Texas line is being designed for long-term annual capacity of 10 million. (tesla.com) The Cybercab sightings come days after Tesla released factory footage showing a production Cybercab driving itself off the Gigafactory Texas line with no driver onboard. (tesla.com) (teslarati.com) Earlier April flights over the same site showed more than 50 Cybercabs gathered outside the plant, suggesting Tesla has moved from isolated test builds to larger batches. (youtube.com) (teslarati.com) Tesla’s January 2026 update had already said Cybercab volume production was planned for 2026 at Gigafactory Texas, and the April footage now shows vehicle output and campus expansion moving together. (tesla.com) (youtube.com) For now, the clearest signal from the site is physical: more finished Cybercabs outside, more concrete in the ground, and more of Tesla’s Texas campus being built around robots and compute.
