Tesla appeared at the 9th China International Import Expo with the Tesla Cybercab, its humanoid robot, the recently launched Model Y Performance version, and exploded-view components of the Model Y.
The Tesla Cybercab on display has no steering wheel or pedals, with the travel space redesigned around passengers. On September 3 this year, the Tesla Cybercab began operating in Austin, Texas, in the United States, and within 30 days more than 300 vehicles were put into service, a tenfold expansion in scale. As of October 18, the Tesla Robotaxi fleet had accumulated about 5 million kilometers of driving with no safety monitor inside the vehicle, with zero airbag deployments and no incidents of active collisions causing injury.
Tesla's humanoid robot, which shares the same origin in travel technology, extends its application scenarios to daily life and production. On-site models carrying luggage, walking dogs, and sorting in factories presented the vision of robots taking on everyday tasks. Tesla is building a "Humanoid Robot Academy" to gradually improve the robot's ability to complete real tasks through human data training, simulation, and real-world practice.
The recently launched Model Y Performance version appeared on the booth, echoing the first-time display of the Model Y's exploded-view components, allowing visitors to gain an in-depth understanding of the body, battery system, and key components from the vehicle design. As of the third quarter of 2026, Tesla's cumulative global vehicle deliveries have exceeded 10 million units, with deliveries exceeding 480,000 units for two consecutive quarters. About 93.3% of the Shanghai Gigafactory's building area is used for workshops. At present, the localization rate of parts at the Shanghai Gigafactory has reached 98%. Cooperation with Chinese partners has also deepened from parts supply to product development: comfort features such as armrests and leg rests on the Model Y L seats were jointly developed by Tesla and Chinese suppliers.
