The Robotaxi Race Is ON — Tesla Cybercab Specs REVEALED & Uber Bets Big On Lucid
About this episode
The episode discusses the competitive landscape of robotaxis, focusing on Tesla's Cybercab specs and Uber's partnerships with various companies.
The robotaxi wars just got real. On this week's Plugged-In Podcast, hosts Mack and Tim break down everything you need to know about the race to own autonomous ride-hailing—and there's a LOT happening all at once. Tesla's Cybercab specs are finally public thanks to EPA filings: a 48 kWh battery, 219 hp front-wheel-drive motor, and an astonishing 165 Wh/mi efficiency rating that makes it the most efficient EV ever certified. But EPA certification and commercial robotaxi deployment are very different things—and Tesla's fleet is still tiny. Meanwhile, Uber is building a web of partnerships—Lucid, Nuro, Wayve, and Stellantis—that looks less like a ride-hail company and more like a platform play for the autonomous age. And Mobileye is making a stunning pivot: no longer just a sensor supplier, it's entering the robotaxi arena with its own fleet. And Who actually wins this race? The company with the best hardware? The best software? The best network? Mack and Tim dig in. #Robotaxi #TeslaCybercab #Waymo #Mobileye #ElectricVehicles #FSD #AutonomousDriving #InsideEVs Check out InsideEVs for the latest future of transportation news and find us online: Instagram Threads YouTube BlueSky X…
