A mysterious, camouflaged Tesla Robotaxi prototype dubbed 'Cybercab' has been sighted near Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, California. The compact two-seater vehicle resembles images from Elon Musk's biography, igniting speculation about Tesla's autonomous vehicle plans.

Mysterious 'Cybercab' Prototype Spotted in Burbank

It is possible that the first photo of a prototype Tesla Robotaxi "Cybercab" with extensive camouflage has just surfaced online.

The two-seater, seen in close proximity to a Tesla Model Y, is noticeably smaller than the top-selling electric crossover, according to Teslarati.

The highly awaited Robotaxi "Cybercab" from Tesla might be unveiled at the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California, according to recent sources.

Tesla Hacker Notes Data Gathering Activity

Although Tesla has not officially confirmed the location of their Robotaxi debut, prominent Tesla hacker @greentheonly has noticed that the business appears to be collecting considerable data in the region.

It appears that the hacker's findings were corroborated by u/dent3dwheel of the r/TeslaMotors forum, who pointed out that Tesla has been testing a fleet of automobiles at the Warner Brothers Studio for the past week.

Striking Yellow Wrap Conceals Prototype

The r/TeslaMotors subreddit user also made the intriguing assertion that Tesla appeared to be testing a disguised little vehicle. A Tesla enthusiast posted a photo of the enigmatic vehicle, which bore a striking yellow wrap and what seemed like fake body pieces.

However, astute Tesla fans have noticed that the car resembles the Robotaxi concept image that was hinted at in Walter Isaacson's biography of Elon Musk.

A little two-seater with sufficient baggage room at the back was seen in the Robotaxi image released in Isaacson's book.

These features appear in the recently leaked picture of what appears to be a Robotaxi prototype, as pointed out by members of the Tesla community on social media.

Ideal Two-Seater with Cybertruck Features

It appears to be an ideal vehicle for two individuals, and it does have two doors. According to the r/TeslaMotors subreddit user, the vehicle's tail lights resemble those of the Cybertruck, and it appears to have bigger wheels on the back. ​
