Posts from people who used Tesla's Cybercab robotaxi said the seats sit at standard wheelchair height and that the short list of requested changes centered on convenience features. Elon Musk reposted a paraplegic rider calling the experience "10/10," and Sawyer Merritt said he wanted manual air recirculation, full-screen navigation, windshield cleaning on command, destination editing from the main screen, an adjustable seat cushion and a rear camera view after 5 hours in the vehicle.
Other attendees described the Austin event as a launch rather than an unveiling. Rob Maurer wrote that the service made a mass-produced autonomous EV available to the general public and described it as "a car with no steering wheel generating revenue," while a separate attendee said Cybercab may be Tesla's most important product since the Model 3 after 2.5+ hours questioning engineers about manufacturing, brake-by-wire, the battery pack and AI5.
