Tesla’s livestream of “We, Robotic” lower away from the stage when Musk was discussing the wi-fi charging capabilities of the Cybercab. As may very well be seen in a video shared on social media platform X by Robert Rosenfeld, the display screen behind Musk on the time truly featured a simulation of the Cybercab’s show whereas it was wirelessly charging.

As may very well be seen within the video, Tesla’s wi-fi charging pad is an angular sq. that the Cybercab may again into. Extra fascinating was the animation of the Cybercab’s charging session, which listed a charging velocity of 19 kW at 35% SoC.

Such a velocity was fairly stunning to some EV fans. Whereas 19 kW is only a fraction of the velocity provided by Superchargers, it’s fairly a bit quicker than Tesla’s Wall Connector, which might present as much as 11.5 kW. For context, Tesla’s 11.5 kW Wall Connector can present as much as 44 miles of vary per hour of cost, as per the corporate’s official web site.
Confirmed: The Cybercab will use 4680s!
For my part it is extremely doubtless these 4680s can be LFP.
As I confirmed in a earlier video, an LFP 4680 battery pack seems to be the most effective throughout battery pack choice in Tesla’s arsenal.
That is much more true for the Cybercab as a result of… https://t.co/biyFCh4Rgh pic.twitter.com/t8o1Op11X8

Tesla didn’t present a touch in regards to the Cybercab’s battery measurement, although speculations are excessive that the Robotaxi could be fitted with a small pack to optimize prices. Apparently sufficient, Tesla not too long ago posted a video that includes a render of the Cybercab with a battery pack that gave the impression to be comprised of 4680 cells. EV battery trade watcher The Limiting Issue, in a submit on X, speculated that the Cybercab could also be geared up with LFP 4680 battery cells.
