Tesla Inc. has started manufacturing its Cybercab robotaxi, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said Friday on his social media site X, fulfilling a long-promised launch at a time when the company’s global sales have slumped.

The electric-vehicle maker, which previouslyBloomberg Terminal announced plans to begin making its newest model from this month, envisions the futuristic-looking Cybercab as part of its Robotaxi network, which operates as a mixed fleet of vehicles with and without human safety monitors.
