Tesla Opens Cybercab Orders for Select Customers
Tesla is inviting select customers to purchase the steering wheel-free Cybercab for $29,990, with deliveries expected to begin as early as next month.
Tesla Inc. announced Friday that it is inviting select customers to order the Cybercab, a two-seater autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals. Priced at $29,990, the Cybercab is the company's most affordable vehicle to date. Deliveries are expected to begin as early as next month, though the vehicle requires a $299 monthly autonomous driving subscription and is limited to supported service areas.
The rollout faces regulatory challenges from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has questioned whether the vehicle complies with safety standards given its lack of side-view mirrors, pedals, and a steering wheel. While Tesla already operates a Robotaxi service in cities such as Austin and Miami, the company has not clarified when sales will expand to the general public or if personal owners can integrate their vehicles into the Robotaxi fleet for passive income.
