Tesla Opens Cybercab Pre-Orders for Personal Use at $29,990 With $299 Monthly Fee
Tesla opened pre-orders for its autonomous Cybercab to select invited customers at $29,990, with a required $299 monthly self-driving subscription and a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. Deliveries are expected in December, initially limited to Tesla's Robotaxi geofenced zones around Austin, Texas. CEO Elon Musk said the service will expand nationwide as regulatory approval is received, but called the $299 monthly fee too high, suggesting it should be closer to the roughly $115 per month Tesla charges for Full Self-Driving and connectivity on other models.

Tesla Opens Cybercab Pre-Orders for Personal Use With $299 Monthly Fee
Tesla announced on Friday that select customers can now pre-order its autonomous Cybercab for personal use. According to tech reviewer Marques Brownlee, buyers must accept delivery in one of a handful of Texas cities, and the vehicle will only operate in certain geofenced areas, with an estimated delivery date of December 2026. Beyond the $29,990 price tag, owners will pay $299 per month to operate the vehicle. Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded that the Cybercab will be available nationwide as regulatory approval is received, and said the monthly fee is too high, suggesting it should match the roughly $115 per month cost of Tesla's Full Self-Driving and connectivity for other models. Tesla's Ashok Elluswamy said the Cybercab will work unsupervised inside the same geo locations as its robotaxi service. The company recently announced it will cease Cybertruck production next year and use the factory capacity to build more Cybercabs.
Musk Says $299 Monthly Cybercab Self-Driving Subscription Is Too High
Tesla has begun offering its Cybercab for purchase to select invited individual customers at a starting price of $29,990, with first deliveries expected in December and initially limited to the Austin, Texas area. Buyers must pay a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and subscribe to a $299-per-month self-driving service for the vehicle to operate. Responding to a user's post about the offering, CEO Elon Musk said the service will roll out nationwide once regulatory approval is obtained, but that the monthly fee is too high and should be comparable to Tesla's FSD and connectivity services on other models, at about $115 per month.

Tesla began taking orders for its Cybercab, a gold two-seater without a steering wheel or pedals, at $29,990, but the vehicle requires a $299 monthly subscription for autonomous driving. The post calculates that spreading the fee over roughly 30 hours of monthly driving amounts to under $10 an hour, and that five years of payments plus the purchase price totals $47,631, compared with a $51,109 average new car price cited from Kelley Blue Book. The service currently works only within Tesla's Robotaxi zones, starting in Austin, and Tesla can change the subscription price at any time.
