Tesla invites select customers to buy Cybercab for personal use

TOKYO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Tesla said on Friday it was inviting select customers to buy the Cybercab for personal use, marking a push towards delivering fully designed autonomous vehicles to customers.

• Tesla posted the announcement on X with an image of the golden butterfly door two-seater, priced at $29,990 with an “Autonomy Subscription” of $299 a month.

• Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a post on X that the offering would be available nationwide as Tesla receives regulatory approval

• "The monthly fee is too high," Musk said, adding that it should match the cost of Tesla Full Self Driving and connectivity for other models, which is about $115 per month

• The EV maker aims to start selling its Cybercab robotaxis to the public by the end of this year, Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, said last month

• The Cybercab will work unsupervised in all the same geo locations as the robotaxi, Tesla’s head of artificial intelligence, Ashok Elluswamy, said in a separate X post

• Tesla launched its unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in June 2025, expanded the offering to Dallas and Houston in April 2026 and rolled it out in Miami in July 2026
