Tesla is doubling, or perhaps tripling down on its bold claims of an autonomous future with the offer to \u201cselect customers\u201d to purchase a Cybercab for \u201cpersonal use.\u201d But the gilded, steering-wheel-free two-seater will \u201conly be available in supported service areas\u201d \u2014 meaning you\u2019ll only be able to buy one if you live in one of the cities where Tesla currently operates its Robotaxi service.<\/p>\n
The price of a Cybercab is listed at $29,990, plus a mandatory $299-a-month \u201cAutonomy Subscription.\u201d Tesla\u2019s Robotaxi account on X announced the new offer, including screenshots of the order page and the invite email. But don\u2019t expect a fleet of personally owned Cybercabs to suddenly materialize on public roads: \u201cInitial availability is limited,\u201d the invitation email warns.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
