Tesla has announced that select customers can now purchase its driverless Cybercab for personal use. The two-seat vehicle, which lacks a steering wheel and pedals, was first unveiled in October 2024 and has been part of Tesla’s “Robotaxi” service in various U.S. cities.
Tesla’s Cybercab Pricing and Subscription Details
The estimated purchase price for the Cybercab is USD 29,990, excluding taxes, with an expected delivery date set for December. Additionally, buyers will need to pay a USD 299 monthly “autonomy subscription” and a non-refundable deposit of USD 1,000.
Expansion of Tesla’s Robotaxi Service
Last year, Tesla launched its self-driving cars in Austin using Model Y SUVs, and the Robotaxi service has since expanded to several cities in Texas, Florida, and California. However, many states require that these vehicles have a human supervisor ready to take control if necessary. In contrast, Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, operates its self-driving services in 11 U.S. cities.
In September, U.S. auto safety regulators began an inquiry into the Cybercab, questioning Tesla’s compliance with federal safety regulations given its design. Tesla has promoted the Cybercab as a safe option, particularly for disabled individuals, claiming it is “democratizing clean transportation for all.”
