Because there isn’t a trademark conflict, it’s just too generic of a term to get trademarked in the first place, but it took seven months for USPTO to process the application.
“Tesla applied for the trademark in October 2024 on the same day that it revealed the Cybercab.”
I would imagine that the fact they cant self-drive would be a bigger issue
It’s probably the actual issue. How can they only now discover right before launch, that there are trademark issues?

OK that sounds like a somewhat weird decision. Considering we Have things like Microsoft “Windows”, and “Exastore” which are both 100% generic words.
Also “X” is generic, and so is SpaceX and XAI.
Of all of these it seems both Robotaxi and Cybercap are less generic???
Still why didn’t they apply for trademark years ago, since Tesla has been planning on this for years?
