Tesla just opened Cybercab Robotaxi buy access at the Tesla Cybercab $29k price for invited buyers in Austin. Tesla Robotaxi $29990 comes with a required $299 monthly autonomy subscription that covers unsupervised FSD, maintenance, tires, and roadside assistance.
What the $29k Cybercab actually includes
The Tesla Cybercab order is only available inside the Austin geofence right now. You must be invited, pay the $1,000 deposit, and commit to the subscription. Delivery dates shown in the app point to December 2026.
What this means for owners
Most Tesla owners already have a Model Y or Model 3 that delivers real ownership without the subscription lock-in. The Cybercab Robotaxi buy route looks more like a lease with restrictions—no personal modifications, no third-party ride-hailing, and coverage limited to Tesla-approved zones.

Bottom line
The Tesla Cybercab $29k price is real for a tiny group of early Austin buyers, but the total five-year cost climbs fast once you add the subscription. Most people will still get better value keeping their current Tesla and waiting for wider Robotaxi availability.
