Tesla Opens Cybercab Pre-Orders for Personal Use: $29,990 Price, Texas-Only First Pickups and a $299 Monthly Fee
Tesla on Friday evening, November 13, said through its Robotaxi account on X that select customers can now pre-order its autonomous Cybercab for personal use, according to a TechCrunch report on November 14. The two-seat electric vehicle, which has no steering wheel or pedals, is priced at $29,990, with deliveries estimated to begin in December 2026.
Details on the order page emerged as invited customers shared them. Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee posted on X that buyers must take delivery in one of a handful of Texas cities and that the Cybercab will operate only within certain geofenced areas. Beyond the purchase price, owners must pay $299 per month for an autonomy subscription for the vehicle to operate. The order page also lists a $1,000 non-refundable deposit.
Replying to Brownlee's post, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Cybercab will be available nationwide as regulatory approvals come through. He added that the $299 monthly fee is too high and should match the cost of Full Self-Driving and connectivity on Tesla's other models, at roughly $115 per month. Tesla executive Ashok Elluswamy said the Cybercab will work unsupervised inside all the same geofenced locations as Robotaxi, serving its owners' own travel needs.
The Cybercab was unveiled in October 2024, entered pilot production in February 2026 and full production in April, and began carrying paying passengers in Austin, Texas, in September through the Robotaxi service. The pre-order opening marks the first time the vehicle has been offered to private buyers. Tesla recently announced it will wind down Cybertruck production by mid-2027 and use the freed factory capacity to build more Cybercabs.
