Tesla Cybercab: Revolutionary plastic panels and start of production

The Tesla Cybercab is in the starting blocks and promises to redefine the topic of electromobility and autonomous driving. Current job advertisements indicate that Tesla a state-of-the-art production process is planned - including innovative plastic panels that are already colored during casting.

Advanced engineering roles

To optimize the production of the Tesla accelerate the production of the Cybercab Tesla is specifically looking for engineers to build and operate the systems. Particular attention is being paid to an equipment expert who is developing the machines for assembling the Cybercabs. The aim is to make assembly processes as efficient as possible so that thousands of units of the Tesla Cybercab units of the Cybercab.

Unboxed production process

A turning point is marked by the so-called unboxed-process. In contrast to conventional car production, individual vehicle sections are manufactured in parallel and only joined together during final assembly. This has two advantages:

Simultaneous work stepsMore engineers and robots can work in parallel.
Optimized accessibilityThe individual components are easier to reach, which makes the production process more efficient.

Painted plastic panels in focus

A central component is the new process for the production of paint-infused plastic panels. Instead of painting the entire vehicle afterwards, as is usually the case, the Tesla Cybercab the color is integrated directly into the plastic material. The following aspects are crucial here:

No painting lineThis reduces costs and saves time.
High resistanceScratches and scuffs do not immediately show on the substrate.
Sustainable production: Less chemicals are used as conventional painting processes are not used.

Technicians and specialists

In addition to engineers Tesla also recruits technicians for areas such as plastics processing, assembly and Giga Press operations. These experts will ensure that the unboxed-approach works smoothly and that the material for the paint-infused plastic panels is optimally manufactured.

Outlook: Launch at the end of 2025

According to current planning Tesla the new Tesla Cybercab-production line by the end of 2025 or early 2026 at the earliest. The company is deliberately shifting up a gear in order to combine an innovative design, state-of-the-art materials and an efficient production process. But the wait should be worth it: When the first Cybercabs roll off the production line, a completely new era in the field of autonomous e-mobility will be upon us.
