Tesla announced on Friday, 2026-11-14 that select customers can pre‑order the autonomous golden Cybercab for personal use at a $29,990 price plus a $299 monthly operating fee. The order page shows delivery must occur in a handful of Texas cities and the vehicle will be limited to geofenced areas, with an estimated delivery date of December 2026. Elon Musk said the service will expand nationwide once regulatory approval is obtained, and Ashok Elluswamy noted the Cybercab will operate unsupervised within the same geo locations as Tesla’s robotaxi fleet.
The $299 subscription creates a new recurring revenue stream that could offset the lower margins of autonomous vehicle services. Repurposing the halted Cybertruck production capacity for Cybercabs signals Tesla’s shift toward higher‑volume, software‑driven mobility offerings.
