Tesla Cybercab: self-certified, Europe caps it at 1,500

Tesla's Cybercab uses dry brake-by-wire technology from Brembo and self-certified with NHTSA rather than pursuing a Part 555 exemption like Zoox did, potentially setting a precedent that could eliminate regulatory caps on production. The vehicle faces a 1,500-unit annual cap in Europe under existing regulations, while Tesla's U.S. strategy to self-certify rather than apply for formal exemption is now under NHTSA audit.
