On Tesla's Q3 2026 earnings call, VP Lars Moravy said Tesla will start selling Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, beginning small, while most Cybercabs will remain in Tesla's own robotaxi fleet; Musk said the Cybercab is primarily intended as a transport-as-a-service vehicle, not a personally owned car. This is an engagement prompt asking followers which EV they would choose, not a factual claim.

CTop of the hour — here's what's moving in tech.
MTesla says it will start selling the Cybercab to customers by the end of 2026.
CThat's straight from Tesla's earnings call. VP Lars Moravy says they begin small.
MAnd here's the catch — most Cybercabs stay in Tesla's own robotaxi fleet. This is not a car you buy and park in your driveway.
CRight. Musk said it himself: the Cybercab is meant for transport-as-a-service. It has no steering wheel, no pedals.
MSo yes, a few customers will buy one. But the business model is Tesla running a fleet, not you owning a robot.
CAnd if that works, Tesla becomes a taxi company with a hundred billion dollar valuation. That's the bet.
MRivian has reportedly cut about 200 jobs — roughly one and a half percent of its workforce.
CReportedly. Rivian hasn't confirmed it publicly. This is based on unnamed sources.
MThe company has been trimming costs all year as EV demand levels off from the boom.
CDifferent corner of the EV world: a ransomware group called Sovcali claims it hit Lucid Motors.
MUnverified claim. No confirmation from Lucid, and the post itself says so.
CWorth watching. But for now it's just a group claiming.
MQuick check on privacy: the EFF warns Canadians are running out of time to oppose Bill C-22.
CA petition to withdraw and amend it was presented to the House of Commons today.
MDigital rights advocates say the bill weakens online protections. The clock is ticking.
CAnd that's your Tech Brief. Check back next hour for more.
