Tesla has reportedly opened orders for its Cybercab to “select customers” at $29,990, which would make it the company’s cheapest vehicle, according to InsideEVs. Autonomous driving is not included in that price: the report pegs it at $299 per month. The source is a brief report and does not specify how customers qualify for an order, when deliveries begin, or whether the $29,990 figure is before taxes and incentives; the pricing and order access have not been independently confirmed in the supplied material.

Background

The Cybercab is Tesla’s lowest-priced vehicle in this pricing scheme, at $29,990. Tesla is treating autonomous driving as a separate subscription rather than bundling it into the sticker price, so the $299 monthly fee is a recurring cost on top of the purchase price.

What buyers are actually committing to

For a personal-use buyer, the $29,990 price is not the full cost: the $299 monthly autonomous-driving subscription is described as mandatory, and the car reportedly operates only inside Tesla’s Robotaxi geofences, so personal use is limited to mapped service areas rather than anywhere the owner drives. Prospective buyers should confirm the geofence boundaries and subscription terms for their own address before placing a pre-order.
