Tesla’s Wild Ride: From Code Red to Cybercab Sneak‑Peek
Monday’s news buzzed louder than a Tesla brushfire, as Dan Ives—the quick‑wit Wedbush analyst—warned drivers and investors alike that a “code‑red” might roll out if Elon Musk keeps spinning his time‑clock on DOGE politics in Washington. The bad news? Tesla’s stock slipped a tidy 7% before the day was done.
But Hold on—there’s a Flash of Hope
Midday on X (yeah, that’s the new Twitter), an unexpected hero stepped forward. Joe Tegtmeyer, a certified flight instructor with the eye of an eagle and the thumb of a photographer, lifted a drone over the Giga Texas plant. He posted high‑resolution shots that reveal something that looks suspiciously like the first Cybercab castings. “Interesting developments next to the Giga Texas Casting Machine section today… several new kinds of castings that do not look like Model Y or Cybertruck… looking for experts out there to identify these in the comments!” he commented.
Why It Matters
- New Castings – Not the usual Model Y or Cybertruck shapes.
- RTTX Labeling – Opened the door to Robotaxi Texas, a hint at Cybercab production.
- Giga Press Parts – The sagely engineer points to more components heading into the assembly line.
When Sawyer Merritt echoed Joe’s post, he teased that the new images really do look like rear Cybercab castings. He mentioned that the Cybertruck racks bear a “CTTX” label—Cybertruck Texas—while these new ones show “RTTX,” presumably for Robotaxi Texas. Tesla has already been quietly lining up Cybercab gear for months, so these pictures could be the first real glimpse at the future.
What’s the Bottom Line?
Even after a rough start to the week, the fresh aerial footage feels like a breath of fresh electric air. It’s proof that Tesla’s roll‑out plan for the Cybercab is not just a rumor forced out of an interview. If Dan Ives or any analyst drops a question during Tuesday’s earnings call, they’ll no doubt play these photos off the bat and ask Musk what’s behind the new look.
So, sit tight. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the next week promises a roller‑coaster of twists and turns, with the Cybercab at the crossover.
