Tesla has begun inviting selected customers to order a Cybercab for personal use, TechCrunch reported on November 14.
Electrek’s account of the ordering materials lists a $29,990 price before taxes, a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and estimated December 2026 delivery in Austin, Texas. Operating the vehicle requires a $299 monthly Autonomy Subscription, with the first month included. These are advance orders with a delivery estimate, rather than evidence that personal buyers have received vehicles.
Operation depends on an ongoing service
Tesla’s Cybercab Autonomy Subscription Agreement, dated November 12, says the vehicle will not operate without an active subscription. Operation is restricted to Tesla-enabled geographic zones, which the company can change. Those boundaries generally follow its Robotaxi service but may differ.
The agreement also requires working connectivity, current software and Tesla Account access; coverage gaps can limit or stop operation. Tesla can restrict or suspend access, while subscription prices may change with one month’s notice. Buyers remain responsible for insurance, registration, charging and other ownership costs.
Personal ownership does not automatically permit a commercial robotaxi business. The contract bars ride-hailing, delivery and rental use unless Tesla expressly authorizes or enables it. For prospective owners, checking supported routes and recurring service conditions is therefore as important as the purchase price.
