Tesla is taking another step towards bringing fully autonomous vehicles to private buyers. The company announced on Friday that select customers are being invited to purchase the Cybercab, its two-seat EV designed to operate without a driver.
An announcement was made on X. Tesla listed the Cybercab at $29,990, alongside a $299 monthly Autonomy Subscription.
However, Elon Musk has already suggested that the subscription price is too high. Responding to a post, the Tesla CEO said it should be closer to the cost of Full Self-Driving and connectivity services on other models, which together come to around $115 per month.
Musk also said the offer would expand nationwide as regulatory approvals come through. Tesla wants to begin public sales of the Cybercab by the end of this year.
The vehicle is expected to operate unsupervised in the same approved areas as Tesla’s robotaxi service, which has expanded from Austin to several other US cities.
