Tesla has announced that select customers can now purchase its driverless Cybercab for personal use. This two-seat vehicle, which lacks a steering wheel and pedals, was first unveiled in October 2024 and has been used in some U.S. cities as part of Tesla’s “Robotaxi” service.
Tesla’s Cybercab Pricing and Subscription Details
The estimated purchase price for the Cybercab is USD 29,990, not including taxes, with deliveries expected in December. In addition, buyers must pay a USD 299 monthly “autonomy subscription” and a USD 1,000 non-refundable deposit to secure their vehicle.
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 other cities in Texas, Florida, and California. However, due to state regulations, many of these vehicles must have a human driver available to take control if necessary.
In September, U.S. auto safety regulators began investigating the Cybercab, questioning how Tesla determined that a vehicle without steering wheels, pedals, or mirrors complies with federal safety standards. Tesla has promoted the Cybercab as a safe and accessible option for disabled individuals, claiming it is “democratizing clean transportation for all.”
