Tesla shares drop 3% after Cybercab launch raises questions on scale and safety approvals

Tesla's shares fell 3% following the launch of its Cybercab robotaxi in Austin, which left many questions unanswered about production scale, regulatory approvals, and profitability. The Cybercab, a two-seat vehicle without steering wheels or pedals, has yet to receive necessary safety exemptions from federal regulators, unlike competitor Waymo which operates at a much larger scale. Investors are closely watching for updates on regulatory filings, fleet expansion, and ride volumes to gauge Tesla's progress in the autonomous taxi market.
