Tesla invites select customers to buy Cybercab for personal use

Tesla invited select customers on November 13 to buy Cybercab for personal use, creating a limited path to individual ownership of a vehicle previously deployed through its robotaxi service. The invitation carries a reported $29,990 purchase price.

The vehicle will operate only with an active Autonomy Subscription. The subscription is reported at $299 a month. Tesla’s Cybercab Autonomy Subscription Agreement confirms the recurring requirement but does not list either amount.

The agreement limits Cybercab to personal, non-commercial use. Owners may not list the vehicle on Tesla’s Robotaxi Network or on third-party ride-hailing, delivery, rental or similar platforms unless Tesla authorizes or enables that use.

Operation is geographically constrained as well. Tesla says Cybercab works only within Robotaxi geofences and other operating limits that the company enables. A privately owned vehicle’s supported area may differ from the commercial Robotaxi service area, and Tesla can change those areas over time.

Broader availability remains conditional. Tesla says feature activation and use depend on continuing development and regulatory approval, which varies by jurisdiction. The current invitation is not a nationwide retail launch.

Cybercab’s touchscreen manual controls can move the vehicle only short distances at speeds of up to 2 mph. Tesla says the controls are not intended for public roads and require the user to hold a valid U.S. driver’s license.
