Tesla invites select customers to buy Cybercab for personal use
Tesla is inviting select customers to buy its Cybercab for personal use, signalling a move to sell vehicles designed to operate autonomously. The offer depends on regulatory approval, and Tesla says the car would be able to drive unsupervised in the same areas as its robotaxi service.
The two-seat vehicle is listed at $29,990, with a proposed autonomy subscription of $299 a month. Elon Musk said that fee was too high and should be closer to the roughly $115 monthly cost of Full Self-Driving and connectivity on other Tesla models. Tesla aims to begin public sales by year-end; its unsupervised robotaxi service has expanded from Austin to Dallas, Houston and Miami.
In short
- Tesla is offering select customers a personal-use Cybercab.
- The listed price is $29,990, plus a $299 monthly subscription.
- Sales and unsupervised use depend on regulatory approval.
