Tesla has invited selected customers to buy its Cybercab for personal use.
Tesla made the announcement on social media platform X on Friday (13 November), alongside a photograph of the two-seater vehicle. It has an all-gold body and butterfly doors, with “Cybercab” printed on one door.
The vehicle costs US$29,990 (about S$38,603), with an additional monthly “self-driving subscription fee” of US$299.
The move marks a significant step towards Tesla delivering fully autonomous vehicles to customers.
Tesla’s vice-president of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy, said in October that the company planned to put its robotaxis on sale to the public before the end of this year.
Tesla’s head of artificial intelligence, Ashok Elluswamy, said in a post on X that the Cybercab could operate without supervision within the same geographical areas covered by Tesla’s robotaxi service.
Tesla launched its unsupervised robotaxi service in the US state of Texas in June last year. It expanded the service to Dallas and Houston in April this year, followed by Miami three months later.
