The Tesla Cybercab 29k Robotaxi just went on sale for $29,190 in Austin, Texas — but only if you're invited and ready for a $299 monthly Cybercab FSD subscription.
This marks the first real-world pricing for Tesla's robotaxi vision, though the fine print reveals it's locked to specific geo-fenced areas with no personal use as a standard vehicle. Tesla can expand or shrink the operating zone anytime, and the car won't function without an active subscription.
What the $299 Cybercab FSD subscription actually includes
The monthly fee covers FSD, connectivity, remote support, roadside assistance, and even tire replacements plus windshield swaps. Owners still handle insurance, registration, charging, and parking. Three safety violations can suspend features for a week without refund.

Tesla Model Y RWD range boost and Model Y AWD discontinued
Tesla also delivered a Tesla Model Y RWD range boost to 348 miles while quietly discontinuing the Model Y AWD. The base RWD now starts at $39,900 with 2.49% financing, but delivery estimates stretch into late 2026 for new orders.

This shift pushes buyers toward the Premium RWD variant for better value, as the gap to higher trims feels smaller once financing is factored in.
Cybertruck 59k buyer warning
Cybertruck 59k buyers now have a window to upgrade their order to the $79,990 All-Wheel Drive model. That move adds air suspension and a nicer interior — features that should hold resale value better than the stripped base version.
If the payment jump feels too steep, walking away remains an option too.
Bottom line
The Tesla Cybercab 29k Robotaxi proves Tesla is serious about unsupervised FSD, but the $299 subscription and restrictions make it a niche play for now. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y RWD range boost and Model Y AWD discontinued changes give current buyers clearer (and cheaper) choices.
