Tesla is quietly preparing and building the physical infrastructure needed to support its future Robotaxi network, with newly uncovered filings revealing multiple facilities dedicated to Cybercab.
Recent permit and zoning documents tied to projects in both Las Vegas, Nevada and Irving, Texas suggest Tesla is preparing a network of regional support hubs for Cybercab operations. The facilities are designed not only to charge vehicles, but also to clean, repair, store, and manage large fleets of autonomous vehicles operating around the clock.
One of the projects is already underway in Las Vegas. According to documents filed with Clark County on May 12 uncovered by Supercharger watcher Marco on X, Tesla is building what is described as the “Tesla Center Mohawk Cybercab Phase 2 Car Wash” project at 6170 Mohawk Street.
Based on recent satellite imagery, the facility is already standing and appears to span roughly 36,000 square feet with dozens of parking stalls. While the images do not reveal much detail inside the site, the permit filings paint a clearer picture of what Tesla is planning. (via Not A Tesla App)
The documents reference cleaning bays, power raceways, air cord reels, and a dedicated indoor wash enclosure. Combined with tire service equipment and fleet-focused parking changes, the location looks designed to function as a centralized support hub for Cybercab operations in Las Vegas.
Interestingly, Tesla appears to be pursuing a similar strategy in Texas. Separate zoning documents tied to a facility in Irving also reference the “storage, service and repair of an autonomous vehicle fleet.” This facility is expected to be 35,049 square feet in size with enough parking to support a substantial fleet operation – 212 spaces, along with an additional 64 stalls surrounding the main building, including 16 EV charging spaces..
Tesla only recently began mass production of the Cybercab at Giga Texas, and sightings of the purpose-built Robotaxi vehicle have already increased significantly across the United States. Last month, a Cybercab prototype was spotted testing on public roads in Las Vegas with a safety driver behind the wheel, marking the first known appearance of the vehicle in Nevada.
At the same time, several modified Model Y vehicles equipped with Robotaxi-specific hardware, including camera washers, were also seen testing in nearby Henderson earlier this year.
These sightings and these new infrastructure projects suggest Tesla is preparing Las Vegas to become one of its major Robotaxi markets.
Along with these two facilities, Tesla has also submitted plans to build a private robotaxi-only Supercharger station in Phoenix, Arizona.
