You can now buy a Cybercab: $29,990, with December deliveries in Texas

What this means for your wrap or lock chime: nothing changes on your current Tesla. The Cybercab has no Paint Shop template yet, and its order terms reportedly route physical wraps through Tesla or an authorized provider. Details in can you wrap a Tesla Cybercab?

The Cybercab is for sale. On Friday November 13, Tesla posted that select customers are being invited to buy one for personal use, and the number is the headline: $29,990 before taxes. That makes the two-seat, wheel-free Cybercab the cheapest car Tesla sells, as The National noted.

Ten weeks ago you could only ride in one. Now a few people get to park one at home.

The numbers

Here is what the invitation covers, per TechCrunch and Teslarati's order walkthrough:

Tesla calls this early access and a limited release. There is no public order page yet, and Tesla hasn't said how many invitations went out.

Why there's a subscription

A Cybercab has no steering wheel and no pedals, so the software is the driver. The Autonomy Subscription is what keeps that driver on the job, and the car doesn't operate without it. Teslarati reports the $299 also covers some upkeep: tires, windshields, filters, camera cleaning and limited towing.

Elon Musk has already said the price should come down. Replying to Marques Brownlee on X, he called the fee "too high" and said it should sit closer to what FSD and connectivity cost on other models, which he put at about $115 a month. Read that as a direction, not a promise. It is still a notable thing to hear on launch weekend.

Where it drives

Your Cybercab works where Tesla's Robotaxi service works. Ashok Elluswamy, who leads Tesla's AI software, wrote that personal cars run "unsupervised inside all the same geo locations as @robotaxi, just serving the owners' needs," as quoted in Teslarati's look at the ownership terms.

Today that means service areas in Texas and Florida. Tesla's site lists Arizona and Nevada as planned, and Musk says the car "will be available nationwide, as we receive regulatory approval." So the map you buy into is the map the Robotaxi team is already growing, city by city. Nevada's approval for up to 5,000 vehicles is the kind of step that widens it.

What the terms say

This is a new kind of car, and the paperwork reads like it. Teslarati went through the order agreement, terms of use and subscription agreement. Its summary of the main points:

• Personal use. Ride-hailing, delivery and rental need separate written approval from Tesla.
• Changes go through Tesla. Wraps, window tint and wheel swaps need Tesla or an authorized provider.
• Resale needs permission. Tesla also keeps a right to buy the car back.
• The basics are yours. Insurance, registration, charging, parking and cleaning sit with the owner.

None of that is surprising for a car that drives itself on public roads with nobody at the controls, because there aren't any. A limited first release with tight rules is how you would want this to start. Tesla did the same thing with the ride service in September: a small fleet in one city, widened as it proved itself.

The factory is making room

The other half of this story happened a week earlier. On November 6, Musk said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Giga Texas around the middle of 2027, and TechCrunch reported the space goes to building more Cybercabs.

That tells you how Tesla sees demand. The Cybercab runs on the unboxed line built for one car every 10 seconds, and Tesla wants more of that line. If you own a Cybertruck, nothing changes on your truck: your wraps, your Paint Shop and your template all work as before.

The gold stays, for now

Every Cybercab so far is gold, and no outlet covering the sale lists a color choice. The finish isn't paint. The color is molded into the body panels, which is part of how Tesla builds the car so quickly.

That makes the wrap question more interesting than usual, and Tesla clearly agrees: it wrapped a Cybercab itself for America's 250th this summer. We answer the owner version of the question, physical and digital, in can you wrap a Tesla Cybercab?

While the first buyers wait for December, the rest of the fleet can still dress up. Open the studio, pick your model, and try it in Cybercab gold.
