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
• TheEV 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
• TheCybercab 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 unsupervisedrobotaxi 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
