Tesla invites some buyers to own a Cybercab

The two-seat car with no steering wheel costs $29,990, plus a required subscription of $299 a month. Tesla says it works only in its supported service areas. Tesla estimates the first deliveries in Austin, Texas, in December.

Tesla said on November 13 that it is inviting select customers to buy the Cybercab for personal use. Until now, the car only carried passengers in Tesla’s own robotaxi service in Austin. Buyers pay a $1,000 deposit that is not refunded.
