# Tesla Cybercab: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Tesla projects a sub-$30,000 Cybercab (Musk, Oct 2024), but it is not on sale and production claims are unverified. The honest status.

## Price

- **$30,000** (manufacturer-target, one-time; as of 2024-10-10) · [Tesla We Robot (Oct 2024)](https://www.tesla.com/we-robot) · 2024-10-10

The figure above is a manufacturer target, not an executable price. Tesla projects a sub-$30,000 Cybercab per Musk's October 2024 We Robot unveiling; no consumer sale is open, and DEPLOY does not treat the target as a price you can pay today.

## Availability

_Status: announced-no-date_

The Cybercab is not available for consumer purchase. Tesla says production began in 2026 at Giga Texas, but early output is capped (no NHTSA exemption for the no-wheel design) and is intended first for Tesla's own robotaxi fleet, not consumer sale.

## Status

DEPLOY classifies the Cybercab's maturity as research. Tesla unveiled it in October 2024 and has stated production began in 2026; production volume and any consumer-sale path are not independently verified. The Cybercab is the purpose-built vehicle for the Tesla Robotaxi service, distinct from the service itself.
