Just saw the Cybercab and I’m taken aback by how the recognisable Tesla elements are less prominent than the overall Volvo YCC design. I encourage you to Google the YCC, as it’s a great little concept.

The Tesla Cybercab is basically a 2004 Volvo YCC without a rear window?

They did make it look better than the Volvo though. I kinda like it, they should release this Model 3 Cybertruck mashup as a regular car and not robotaxi
I’m only coming up to speed but isn’t a 2 door low coupe the least practical shape for a taxi?
And..um…the best shape for a 2 door low coupe sports car?
Tesla has ripped off more than a few designs sadly
Looks more similar to a terrible mockery of the VW XL1
An improvement over the cyber truck.
Can’t wait until he makes a IC/hybrid. …..
Looks like the tesla photo was taken at the universal back lot
It’s not that they’re stealing/copying, it’s simply that when you optimise for the same factors (aerodynamics and crash/safety regulations), you end up with the effectively the same shape, which is why more or less all of these cars look the same going back as far as late 90s with the first gen Honda Insight.
Same reason why all commercial airplanes look approximately the same – all optimised for aerodynamics + capacity.
Whole car looks like random AI generated.
That’s a fucking stupid shape for a taxi. Getting in and out will be slow and awkward without a back door.
