Tesla Opens Cybercab Orders at $29,990, With a Required $299 Monthly Autonomy Subscription

Tesla opened Cybercab orders to select customers on November 13–14, 2026. The vehicle is priced at $29,990 before taxes, but operation requires a $299-per-month Autonomy Subscription and is limited to Tesla Robotaxi service areas. The order page describes a two-seat vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, with a 21-inch screen and 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space, according to Not a Tesla App. Estimated delivery in Austin is December 2026.
The required subscription changes the ownership calculation: the article estimates an all-in cost of roughly $800–850 per month over five years, based on stated assumptions for Texas sales tax, annual mileage, electricity, insurance, maintenance and resale value. Below that level of use, riding a Robotaxi is estimated to be cheaper. Electrek’s simpler calculation, covering only the vehicle and subscription, puts five-year costs at about $47,600 before tax, insurance and charging. The $299 monthly fee is three times Tesla’s current $99 monthly price for FSD (Supervised), according to the article.
Tesla has not disclosed Cybercab range, battery or insurance data, leaving key ownership costs uncertain. The article also notes that estimated Austin deliveries are set for December 2026; whether that estimate holds and how the undisclosed vehicle details affect total cost remain monitoring points.
