A nextbigfuture breakdown (quoted) details Tesla Cybercab manufacturing: final assembly uses 25 fully automated stations, 5-10x fewer than a Model Y line; 80% line automation; the Unboxed process cuts floor space per car by 50%; the line outruns robotaxi rollout so it doesn't run daily; dropping the paint shop saves hundreds of millions; and the car is built to last 500,000 miles.
