## Key points

- Select customers can pre-order Tesla’s Cybercab for personal use.
- Initial use is limited to geofenced areas in Texas.
- Tesla lists a $299 monthly fee, which Musk says is too high.

## Summary

Tesla has opened pre-orders for its autonomous Cybercab to select customers, offering the vehicle for personal use. The launch is limited to certain Texas cities and geofenced operating areas, so it does not yet provide unrestricted nationwide use; wider availability depends on regulatory approval.

The Cybercab costs $29,990, with an estimated delivery date of December 2026, and the order page lists a $299 monthly operating fee. Elon Musk said that fee was too high and suggested it should be closer to $115 a month, in line with other Tesla services. Tesla says owners can use the same locations as its Robotaxi service, and plans to shift factory capacity from Cybertruck production to building more Cybercabs.
