Tesla says it is starting to sell Cybercabs for personal use
The Cybercab’s regulatory future remains uncertain
Tesla has announced plans to begin selling its Cybercab, a two-seat driverless vehicle, for personal use, according to a press release on November 13. The company initially introduced the Cybercab as part of its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, where it is currently operational. However, the regulatory status of the Cybercab remains unclear, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation into Tesla's self-certification of the vehicle in compliance with federal safety standards.
Matt Holm, president of the Tesla Austin's Owners Club, has stated he ordered the Cybercab for $29,990 plus a $299 monthly subscription fee. It is uncertain whether the Cybercab will be limited to the existing geofenced area of Austin or if it will be available for use in other locations.
