Tesla is inviting select customers to buy a Cybercab for $29,990, but ownership comes with a mandatory $299 monthly Autonomy Subscription. The two-seat vehicle is available only in areas where Tesla operates its Robotaxi service, and the invitation says initial availability is limited.
Tesla’s Robotaxi account on X announced the offer and shared screenshots of the order page and invitation email. The Cybercab is steering-wheel-free, and customers who cancel the subscription would have no manual-driving option: the vehicle could no longer be used on public roads.
Tesla began offering Cybercab rides through its Model Y-powered Robotaxi service in Austin in September. The crowd-sourced Robotaxi Tracker says 278 Cybercabs are now in operation, about 40 percent of the fleet.
The required subscription adds $17,940 over a standard five-year ownership period, including the first month, bringing the baseline cost to roughly $47,600 before taxes, charging and insurance. That is more than a new Model 3 or Model Y, which can be driven anywhere in the country. Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduced the Cybercab in 2024 with a price of about $30,000 but did not mention a subscription. Tesla currently charges $99 a month for its Full Self-Driving feature.
