Tesla invites select customers to buy Cybercab for personal use

Tesla has announced plans to invite select customers to purchase the Cybercab, a fully autonomous vehicle designed for personal use. The company unveiled the Cybercab on X, showcasing its distinctive golden butterfly-door two-seater design. Priced at $29,990, the Cybercab also includes an Autonomy Subscription fee of $299 per month.

Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, expressed his thoughts on X, stating that the offering would be available nationwide once regulators approve the Cybercab. However, Musk noted that the monthly fee seems excessive and should align with the costs of Tesla's Full Self-Driving and connectivity features, typically around $115 per month for other models.

Tesla aims to begin selling its Cybercab robotaxis to the public by the end of the year, according to Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice-president of vehicle engineering. The Cybercab is designed to operate unsupervised in the same geographical areas as Tesla's existing robotaxi service.

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's head of artificial intelligence, confirmed on X that the Cybercab will be capable of autonomous operation throughout the regions where Tesla's robotaxi service is currently available. Tesla's robotaxi service launched in Austin, Texas, in June 2025, expanded to Dallas and Houston in April 2026, and then expanded again to Miami in July 2026.
