Update, August 19, 2026: Quality-inspector ads at Giga Texas are staffing. Tesery later covered Cybercab mules, crash-lab cars, and a year-end recap that said production had started. A December 1 job board is not SOP and not a Robotaxi you can hail.
Around 30 November–1 December 2025 Tesla’s careers site listed Quality Inspector, Cybercab and Quality Inspector, Cybercab – Incoming Quality at Gigafactory Texas. The posts (job IDs 256727 / 256728 on tesla.com/careers) describe calipers, incoming parts, and Tesla’s quality system. Hiring inspectors is what you do before or as a line comes up. It is not “Cybercab is in volume production,” and it is not unsupervised Robotaxi.
Key facts
- Where: Giga Texas, the site Tesla had already named for Cybercab volume.
- What the ads are: Two quality roles on the two-seater program.
- What Tesery already showed that month: Wheeled mules and later a crash-lab lot.
- What this is not: A customer order bank, or Cybercab without a steering wheel on public roads.
A requisition vs a rate
Tesla posts Cybercab titles for months while the unboxed line is still being commissioned. Treat this like the Vienna FSD driver ad: signal, not a gazette. Paid Robotaxi in late 2025 was still Model Y.
FAQ
Did these jobs mean Cybercab was shipping?
They mean Tesla wanted inspectors in Austin. Shipping is a later claim.
Are the inspectors for Robotaxi Model Ys?
The titles say Cybercab, the two-seat purpose-built car.
Is this the same as the Santana Row show car?
No. Showroom and street mules are Tesery’s other December Cybercab notes.
For owners: a Giga Texas vacancy does not put a Cybercab in the Tesla app.
