Tesla has told employees it is preparing a public launch of the Cybercab in Austin as soon as this month, according to a report from The Information.

With a tri-motor setup delivering over 1,500 horsepower, the Denza Z can hit 0 to 62 mph in under 2 seconds. It’s also cheaper than a Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Starting at $35,000, the 2027 Hyundai IONIQ 5 will remain among the most affordable EVs in the US.

Every new launch seems to promise more speed, more power, bigger batteries, and increasingly motorcycle-like styling. And every time a new model pushes the envelope, the comments inevitably fill with some people asking the same question: “Why not just make it faster?”
I think that’s the wrong question.
Nevada’s Transportation Authority granted Tesla a permit to run driverless vehicles in Las Vegas last month and capped the fleet at 10 cars. Tesla’s application had asked for 5,000.
The permit also confines Tesla to an approved stretch of the Strip, bans pickups at Harry Reid International Airport, and limits the vehicles to 45 mph.
