US auto safety regulator opens probe into nearly 1,000 Tesla Cybercabs

NHTSA opened an audit into roughly 1,000 Tesla Cybercab vehicles, focusing on Tesla’s compliance claims with federal safety standards and the underlying process/technical data. While the action is limited in scope versus Tesla’s broader fleet, it introduces regulatory overhang that could trigger further scrutiny or remedies. Net effect is a cautious stance on near-term perception of Cybercab compliance risk.
