Tesla begins taking personal Cybercab orders

Tesla announced via its Robotaxi X account that it is now issuing invitations to a limited group of customers to buy a Cybercab for private use.

The automaker previously said sales would be limited to firms that could help build its robotaxi network, but the latest notice extends offers to individuals. Screenshots posted by the account show a price of $29,990, with a $299 monthly "Autonomy Subscription". The vehicle lacks a steering wheel, gas pedals and brakes and will not operate without the subscription service.

Tesla says the personal‑use Cybercabs will function only within the same geofenced zones used for its robotaxi service, which currently cover Miami, Orlando and Tampa in Florida and Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio in Texas. AI lead Ashok Elluswamy said "it'll work unsupervised inside all the same geo locations as Robotaxi, just serving the owners' needs."

The company estimates deliveries to start in December 2026, though it is unclear if the personal orders will be fulfilled. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an audit after the Cybercab entered commercial service, stating "The vehicles lack permanently attached, conventional manual controls, such as a brake pedal, gas pedal, steering wheel and mirrors," and adding "NHTSA is opening this [audit query] to examine the process and technical data on which Tesla relied when certifying the Cybercab and related issues."
