Tesla invites select customers to buy Cybercab robotaxi for personal use

On November 13, Tesla announced plans to invite select customers to purchase the Cybercab robotaxi for personal use, signaling a move towards delivering fully designed autonomous vehicles to consumers. The announcement was made on the social media platform X, accompanied by an image of the golden butterfly-door two-seater. Priced at $29,990 (S$38,660) with an "Autonomy Subscription" of $299 per month, the Cybercab will be available across the United States once Tesla obtains the necessary regulatory approvals.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed his thoughts on X, stating that the monthly fee is too high and should be comparable to the cost of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver-assistance system and connectivity for other models, which is approximately $115 a month. The electric vehicle manufacturer aims to commence public sales of the Cybercab robotaxis by the end of 2026, according to Lars Moravy, Tesla’s vice-president of vehicle engineering, who stated this in October.

The Cybercab is designed to operate unsupervised in all the same geographical locations as Tesla's robotaxi services. Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s head of artificial intelligence, confirmed this in a separate X post. Tesla initially launched its unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June 2025, subsequently expanded the service to Dallas and Houston in April 2026, and rolled it out in Miami in July 2026.
