Tesla is doubling, or perhaps tripling down on its bold claims of an autonomous future with the offer to “select customers” to purchase a Cybercab for “personal use.” But the gilded, steering-wheel-free two-seater will “only be available in supported service areas” — meaning you’ll only be able to buy one if you live in one of the cities where Tesla currently operates its Robotaxi service.
The price of a Cybercab is listed at $29,990, plus a mandatory $299-a-month “Autonomy Subscription.” Tesla’s Robotaxi account on X announced the new offer, including screenshots of the order page and the invite email. But don’t expect a fleet of personally owned Cybercabs to suddenly materialize on public roads: “Initial availability is limited,” the invitation email warns.
Tesla began offering rides in the Cybercab as part of its Model Y-powered Robotaxi service in Austin in September. The company now has 278 Cybercabs in operation, representing approximately 40 percent of its fleet, according to the crowd-sourced Robotaxi Tracker.
The inclusion of a mandatory $299/month subscription is sure to rankle some fans who may have dreamed of cruising around in a $30,000 driverless Tesla, as originally promised by Tesla CEO Elon Musk when he first introduced the Cybercab in 2024.
