Tesla is inviting select customers to buy a Cybercab for personal use. Its official Robotaxi account announced the invitations on X on Friday evening, Nov. 13, with a screenshot of the order page.
What Tesla's order page shows
Read from the screenshot in Tesla's own post:
- Price: $29,990 estimated purchase price, excluding taxes.
- Autonomy Subscription: $299 a month, with one month included. The page says "Subscription and regular vehicle maintenance required to operate." The price excludes taxes and is billed separately each month until canceled.
- Deposit: $1,000 due today, labeled a non-refundable order deposit.
- Delivery: estimated December 2026, with delivery in Austin, Texas.
- Agreements: the order covers a Cybercab Order Agreement, Terms of Use, an Autonomy Subscription Agreement and a Privacy Notice. A "Warranty and Insurance" section is linked from the page; we could not open it.
What other reports add
Electrek reports that the Cybercab only works inside Tesla's Robotaxi service areas in Texas and Florida, and that the invitation email says "Only available in supported service areas. Subscription required for operation." The Verge reports that the order terms prohibit commercial use and that Tesla has not explained insurance, liability or how it picks invited buyers. We could not verify those points on Tesla's own pages.
Tesla's Cybercab joined its Austin Robotaxi fleet in the third quarter, as covered in Tesla's Q3 profit fell 43% on flat revenue as costs and capex surged. Musk also tied the end of Cybertruck production to more Cybercab output in Cybertruck discontinued? Production winds down in 2027.
What this means for you
- If you get an invitation: read the Cybercab Order Agreement and Autonomy Subscription Agreement before paying. The $1,000 deposit is non-refundable.
- Budget the subscription: $299 a month is $3,588 a year, and Tesla's page says the subscription is required to operate the car.
- Ask about insurance: check the page's Warranty and Insurance section and your own insurer before ordering.
We read Tesla's order page only through the screenshot in its X post. The order page itself is invitation-only, so we have not opened it.
