Tesla has opened purchase access for select individual buyers to the Cybercab, priced from $29,990, with initial deliveries expected in December and allocations limited to invited customers around Austin, Texas. Buyers must pay a $1,000 non‑refundable deposit and the vehicle must be paired with a $299/month autonomous-driving subscription to operate. Musk said the service will roll out nationwide once it secures regulatory approval but that $299/month is too high and should be aligned with Tesla’s FSD and connectivity fees at roughly $115/month.
