MKBHD is feeling confident that he won't have to shave his head after Cybercab event
Tech creator MKBHD remains confident he will avoid a head-shaving bet regarding Tesla's Cybercab delivery timeline. While Tesla has integrated the vehicle into its robotaxi service, MKBHD argues the company is still far from meeting its consumer-facing sales promises.

The bet highlights the ongoing skepticism surrounding Tesla's aggressive timelines for autonomous vehicle deployment and the shift in its business model toward AI and robotics.
MKBHD made a famous bet with Tesla. He's confident he'll win. Tesla/Getty Images/Business Insider MKBHD famously bet that Tesla wouldn't reach its lofty Cybercab goals in 2026.
