Tesla (TSLA.O) views the upcoming CyberCab as its long-promised affordable electric vehicle and is willing to make fundamental design adjustments for large-scale sales—in simple terms, transforming it into a traditional model that can be controlled by human drivers. "If regulations require a steering wheel, we can add a steering wheel and pedals," said Tesla board chairman Robyn Denholm in a media interview on Tuesday. Denholm's remarks, while actively lobbying shareholders to approve Musk's exorbitant compensation plan, reveal significant flexibility in Tesla's product roadmap. While some investors support Musk's decision to fully push for fully autonomous vehicles last year, others are concerned about this high-risk strategy. Market worries center on the potential bottleneck in Tesla's growth if there is no new electric vehicle model positioned below the Model 3. Denholm clearly stated that the CyberCab is what investors commonly refer to as "Model 2."
