Tesla invites select customers to buy Cybercab for personal use

Tesla has announced plans to invite a select group of customers to purchase the Cybercab, a fully autonomous vehicle designed for personal use. The announcement was made on X, accompanied by an image of the distinctive golden butterfly-door two-seater. Priced at $29,990 with an optional "Autonomy Subscription" of $299 per month, the Cybercab represents Tesla's push towards delivering self-driving cars directly to consumers.

According to Tesla's head of artificial intelligence, Ashok Elluswamy, the Cybercab will be capable of operating unsupervised in the same geographic locations as the company's existing robotaxi service. This autonomy is crucial for the vehicle's widespread adoption. Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy, previously stated that the company aims to begin selling the Cybercab to the public by the end of the year.

Already, Tesla has rolled out its unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June 2025, subsequently expanding to Dallas and Houston in April 2026, and finally reaching Miami in July 2026. The Cybercab, with its advanced autonomous capabilities, promises to further integrate Tesla's technology into everyday transportation, potentially reshaping the future of personal vehicle ownership.
