Tesla Opens Cybercab Orders at $29,990 for Select Buyers

Tesla’s Robotaxi account dropped the invite Friday: select customers can now order a Cybercab for personal use. Price tag sits at $29,990 before taxes, $1,000 non-refundable deposit, estimated December 2026 delivery starting in Austin.

No steering wheel, no pedals, 21-inch screen, about 20 cubic feet of cargo. It only operates inside the existing Robotaxi geofences across eight Texas and Florida cities for now.

THE SUBSCRIPTION CATCH

A $299 monthly Autonomy Subscription is required to make the car move at all—one month included. Elon jumped in quickly, saying the fee is too high and should land closer to the ~$115 combined FSD-plus-connectivity rate on regular Teslas. He also confirmed nationwide availability once regulators clear it.

Most Cybercabs will still stay in Tesla’s own fleet for transport-as-a-service, but personal ownership just cracked open. Regular maintenance is mandatory too.

This lands right on the under-$30k promise Musk made at the 2024 We, Robot event.
