Tesla said Starlink V5 is directly integrated in Cybercab. The announcement came through a post on X on Monday.

Tesla's post stated: "Starlink V5 directly integrated in Cybercab." Starlink shared a cutaway diagram showing a Starlink antenna in the vehicle's roof with the caption "High-speed internet from space for the future of autonomous vehicles." Neither company provided specifications, timelines, or explanations for the integration.

The graphic labels a "Starlink Integration" block in the roof near camera and sensor callouts. Tesla did not clarify whether the integration is a production feature or a rendering of a future plan. The announcement did not include details on how the system would function or why it is needed given Tesla's self-driving system operates without data connectivity.
