Claim : Video allegedly captures a woman trying a new robotic mode of transport in 2026.
Conclusion : The claim is totally false. The video is AI generated and has been created by a video creator ‘AI Fanatix’. No such robotic mode of transportation is available in 2026 from Tesla and there are no verified reports to support it.
Rating : Totally False — 
Several social media users have shared a video and allegedly claimed that a new mode of robotic transportation is available in 2026. X user ‘TriedWrong’ shared such a clip which is captioned “2026 new transport way”. The footage depicts a sleek black humanoid robot with blue neon accents, purportedly a Tesla event. A woman interacts with it, climbing inside as it transforms into a bipedal transport device, carrying her away. This visual implies the robot represents an upcoming real-world transportation innovation from Tesla for 2026. View the post below –

FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to investigate this claim and found it to be totally false. This clip was digitally created using AI by a content creator known as “AI Fanatix.” Currently there is no real-world robotic transport system like the one shown, claimed to be available in 2026 from Tesla. It was nowhere reported so far.
We first analyzed the video and noticed that the videos in the claim carried a ‘AI FANATIX – CYBER FUNK’ watermark. Upon performing a reverse image search, we landed on a Youtube video from ‘AI Fanatix’ channel titled : “She rode this humanoid robot in public #robot #innovation #crazy.” This video was originally uploaded on December 17, 2025, view the screenshot below-
Following this, we learnt about the ‘AI Fanatix channel’ whose Youtube description stated : “Profile dedicated to AI Digital Art” We also found many similar clips on AI Fanatix TikTok channel too whose description stated : “Surrealistic Content Creator AI”. View a screenshot of the profile description and Tiktok page below –
Next, we downloaded the video from the claim and ran it through Hive Moderation’s AI detector. The results proved that the video is generated by AI, see the screenshot below –
Lastly, we searched whether Tesla has actually launched such a robotic mode of transportation but did not come across; any credible evidence, but Tesla has launched driverless, autonomous vehicles as seen below.
As per a report, Tesla’s current Optimus Gen 3 robot has learned fine motor skills given its ability to handle delicate objects such as tearing paper towels, opening a cabinet, or folding laundry.”
There are “videos of Optimus demonstrating advanced dexterity — with an ability to catch moving objects tossed in its general direction”, learning to walk but no evidence or videos of robot carrying humans.
Below few videos of Optimus Gen 3 robot:
