Tesla Cybercab: Musk Admits $300/Month Fee Too High
14 Nov
Summary
- Cybercab faces criticism for invite-only access and high subscription.
- Elon Musk acknowledged the $300 monthly fee is excessively expensive.
- Tesla aims to reduce the monthly cost to around $115.
Tesla's Cybercab is now available for select customers to purchase, with an estimated price of $29,990. However, the autonomous vehicle comes with significant restrictions, including an invite-only availability, limited delivery locations within Texas, and a mandatory $300 monthly subscription fee for operation.
Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee highlighted these limitations, prompting a response from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk agreed that the $300 monthly fee is too high and suggested it should be reduced to around $115, comparable to other Tesla FSD and connectivity packages.
Deliveries are estimated to begin in December. The two-door, two-seater Cybercab lacks a steering wheel or pedals. While initially deployed in Tesla's Robotaxi fleet, personal ownership is restricted to supported service areas. Buyers also cannot immediately use their Cybercabs for commercial ride-hailing.
Tesla's Robotaxi service began operations in June 2025 in Austin, Texas, and has since expanded. Musk has previously committed to allowing Tesla owners to integrate their vehicles into a broader autonomous ride-hailing network.
