Tesla is now selling its self-driving Cybercab robotaxi for personal use, orders open for $29,990: Who will be able to buy and where it will work?

Tesla is set to start selling its self-driving and steering wheel-free Cybercab for personal use, the company announced on Friday, November 13, via their official X account. The two-seat vehicle which previously operated exclusively as a robotaxi will now be available to purchase for certain individuals.

According to a listing posted by the company, the vehicle is priced at $29,900. Customers will have to deposit $1,000 non-refundable for the order, and will also be required to buy a $299 per month subscription. One month of the subscription will be included in the purchase, and from the next month subscription and regular maintenance will be required to operate the vehicle, the listing showed.

When the vehicle was announced in 2024, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had promised to unveil a Cybercab below $30,000.


The gold colored Cybercab is Tesla’s cheapest vehicle yet, according to Inside EVs. The Tesla Model 3, which was previously the cheapest, is $7,000 more than the Cybercab. The listing on Tesla’s website also shows that deliveries for the car will start in December 2026.

Who can buy Cybercab?

As orders for the Cybercan begin for the first time ever not everyone will be able to purchase the car. The company is inviting certain select customers to purchase the car for personal use. The company is yet to announce how these customers are chosen or whether it will later open the sales to the general public. According to the company, the initial availability for the Cybercab is limited.

The two-seater car comes with a 21-inch center touchscreen along with 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space and comes without a steering wheel or any pedals. According to Tesla, the car is “designed for full autonomy” and features bench-style seating.

Individuals who end up purchasing the Cybercab will be able to manage it through an app.

Cybercab will work on in ‘supported service areas’

The Cybercab will only be able to operate in certain areas that Tesla called its “supported service areas”. Currently Tesla operates the Robotaxi service in eight cities, including Autinc, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and San Antonio in Texas and Miami, Orlando and Tampa in Florida, according to its website. It is safe to assume that these will be the areas where the personal use version will operate.
