Tesla opens Cybercab sales to select buyers at $29,990, plus a $299 monthly subscription

Tesla (TSLA) has started inviting select customers to buy its driverless Cybercab for personal use at $29,990 before taxes.

The company made the announcement on Friday evening through its Robotaxi account on X. The post read: "Select customers are now being invited to purchase Cybercab for personal use."

The order page attached to the post gives an estimated delivery of December in Austin, Texas. Buyers put down a $1,000 deposit, which is not refundable.

Owners must also pay $299 a month for what Tesla calls an Autonomy Subscription, with the first month included. The page says the subscription and regular maintenance are "required to operate" the car.

The Cybercab has no steering wheel, pedals or mirrors. Tesla began charging for rides in a small fleet of them in Austin in September.

As of October, every Cybercab built at the Texas plant had gone to Tesla's own Robotaxi fleet. On the company's October 21 earnings call, engineering head Lars Moravy said customer sales would "start small this year."

Elon Musk said on the same call that most of the cars will stay with Tesla. He said: "the vast majority of the Cybercab stuff will be essentially Tesla-owned and transport as a service."

US auto safety regulators are still looking into whether Tesla properly certified the Cybercab under federal safety standards.

Tesla shares closed down 1.8% on Friday and were down another 0.8% in after-hours trading as of 7:59 p.m. ET.
