Musk Touts Rare-Earth-Free Cybercab Motor, Investor Calls Event Largely a Bust
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Cybercab’s electric motor is rare-earth-free and operates more efficiently than Alphabet’s sixth-generation Waymo robotaxis. Investor Sawyer Merritt described it as 18% smaller, 25% lighter and more efficient, while attendees rode the two-seat robotaxi after a brief presentation adding it to the robotaxi fleet. Gary Black called the event largely a bust despite bullish takes from Musk and Gene Munster.
