German-Swiss multinational equipment manufacturer Liebherr has has announced that deliveries of its first-ever electric compact wheel loader, the L 507 E, are about to begin.
The Liebherr L 507 E compact wheel loaders were announced last summer, and have been available for order since October. And, while no timeline has been set, chances are good that the battery-powered machine will eventually make its way across the Atlantic.
If and when it does arrive, operators who are familiar with Liebherr’s existing, diesel-powered wheel loaders will be right at home. That’s because the battery-powered L 507 E uses the same stereo steering and lift arms as the standard L 507 Stereo, showcasing the company’s trademarked “Z-bar” kinematics, which work without the need for manual readjustment. The L 507 E also uses Liebherr’s fully automatic LIKUFIX quick coupler system, enabling the use of legacy implements and further lowering the financial barriers to entry.
All the other “selling points” of the L 507, from the huge glass operator cab to the integrated reversing cameras and even the 30 km/h “speeder” option, also carry over. That streamlines the ordering process for fleet managers who know what they need, and just need it to be electric, to order “more of the same.”

That’s important – not just because it makes apples-to-apples comparisons easier, but because it enables fleet managers to quickly envision and understand the machine’s capabilities in environments that may not be immediately familiar to them, like underground mines, or even indoors (as shown, above).
Electrek’s Take
The electrification of wheel loaders and other heavy equipment offers fleets tangible benefits beyond environmental impact. These machines typically exhibit improved efficiency and lower operating costs, combined with fewer injuries and missed days due to respiratory illness and heart disease than their diesel counterparts. What’s more, quieter job sites are often better places to work, leading to improved employee satisfaction and lower turnover.
In short, by adopting more electric assets, construction companies can enhance their job site productivity while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.

Tesla’s chairwoman said that the automaker might redesign the Cybercab, specifically add a steering wheel and pedals.
Last year, Tesla unveiled the Cybercab, a two-seater electric car without a steering wheel or pedals.
Musk was quoted during the design of the Cybercab:
No mirrors, no pedals, no steering wheel. Let me be clear. This vehicle must be designed as a clean robotaxi. We’re going to take that risk…But we are not going to design some sort of amphibian frog that’s a halfway car. We are all in on autonomy.
Here’s the interior of the Tesla Cybercab:

The vehicle was one of several new, cheaper electric vehicles that Tesla was developing for its new ‘unboxed’ platform, but CEO Elon Musk canceled the others, believing they wouldn’t be needed with the advent of autonomous driving.
However, Tesla has yet to solve unsupervised autonomous driving, and Musk has been consistently wrong about predicting when it will happen.
Tesla plans to bring the Cybercab to production in 2026, and during Tesla’s earnings call last week, Musk said the Cybercab will account for the bulk of Tesla’s upcoming production growth.
That’s not going to happen if Tesla hasn’t solved unsupervised self-driving.
Furthermore, while federal regulations for self-driving vehicles have been relaxed recently, there’s only an exemption available for 2,500 passenger vehicles without a steering wheel or pedals per manufacturer per year.
Now, Tesla chairwoman Robin Denholm said in an interview with Bloomberg today that Tesla plans to add a steering wheel and pedals to the Cybercab if needed:
“If we have to have a steering wheel, it can have a steering wheel and pedals.”
Tesla is currently setting up Cybercab production at Gigafactory Texas near Austin.
The automaker has framed the vehicle as a cheaper alternative to Model Y for its Robotaxi service.
Electrek’s Take
Just yesterday, I was talking to my friend Bastien, and he called it. He told me he bets Tesla does launch the Cybercab next year, but with a steering wheel and pedals.
Now, let’s be clear. As of today, Tesla’s need for a steering wheel and pedals in the Cybercab is not driven by regulators, as Denholm suggests.
Tesla hasn’t solved unsupervised self-driving as evidenced by the current version of ‘Full Self-Driving (Supervised)’ in consumer vehicles, and its Robotaxi service still has safety monitors.
If Tesla wants to produce and deliver the Cybercab in any significant volume, it would need a steering wheel.
The regulations are just an excuse as of now.
It could change in the future, but for now, Tesla’s technology is without a doubt the limiting factor.
