Tesla said on November 13 that it was inviting selected customers to purchase its Cybercab for personal use. An announcement on X showed the two-seat vehicle with butterfly doors at a price of $29,990, alongside an “Autonomy Subscription” costing $299 a month.

Chief Executive Elon Musk said on X that nationwide availability would follow as Tesla receives regulatory approval. He also criticized the monthly charge, saying it should match the roughly $115 monthly cost of Full Self Driving and connectivity on Tesla’s other models.

The invitations come as Tesla aims to begin public sales of its Cybercab robotaxis by the end of the year. Lars Moravy, the company’s vice president of vehicle engineering, outlined that goal the previous month.

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s head of artificial intelligence, said in another X post that the Cybercab would operate without supervision in the same geographic areas served by its robotaxi.

Tesla began its unsupervised robotaxi service in June 2025 in Austin, Texas. It added Dallas and Houston in April 2026, followed by Miami in July 2026.
