Tesla Reveals Cybercab Pricing for Its First Personal Buyers

Tesla has started inviting select customers to buy a Cybercab for personal use, opening a limited path to owning the company’s purpose-built autonomous vehicle rather than simply booking a ride in one.

The announcement arrived through Tesla’s official Robotaxi account on November 13, alongside images of the ordering screen and an early-access invitation. It comes as Tesla prepares to make more room for Cybercab production at Gigafactory Texas, with Cybertruck output set to wind down around the middle of 2027.

The ordering image lists an estimated purchase price of US$29,990, a US$299 monthly autonomy subscription and a US$1,000 nonrefundable deposit. It also shows an estimated December 2026 delivery in Austin, Texas. Those are the figures in Tesla’s example, not a promise that everyone can place an order or take delivery next month.

For a buyer, the monthly fee is an important part of the cost. Tesla’s invitation says a subscription is required for operation, so the purchase price alone does not cover ongoing use. At the advertised rate, the autonomy subscription would add US$3,588 over a full year.

Tesla describes the offer as early access with limited availability and says the vehicle is available only in supported service areas. The announcement is specifically aimed at invited customers, rather than a general opening of sales across the United States. It does not announce Canadian availability or Canadian pricing.

The invitation describes a fully autonomous vehicle managed through an app. Inside, the two-seat cabin has adjustable seating, wraparound ambient lighting and a 21-inch centre touchscreen. Tesla also lists 20.1 cubic feet of storage, with room for items such as luggage and golf clubs.

Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals, making these service-area limits particularly important for anyone considering one as a personal vehicle. Buying it is not the same as buying a conventional Tesla that an owner can drive wherever they choose.

The company’s announcement marks a move from demonstrating Cybercab to inviting individual purchases. The invitation does not spell out a nationwide rollout date, and its December delivery estimate should still be read as an estimate rather than confirmation that customer deliveries have begun.
