TOKYO, Nov 13 : Tesla said on Friday it was inviting select customers to buy the Cybercab for personal use, marking a push towards delivering fully designed autonomous vehicles to customers.

• Tesla posted the announcement on X with an image of the golden butterfly door two-seater, priced at $29,990 with an “Autonomy Subscription” of $299 a month.

• Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a post on X that the offering would be available nationwide as Tesla receives regulatory approval

• "The monthly fee is too high," Musk said, adding that it should match the cost of Tesla Full Self Driving and connectivity for other models, which is about $115 per month
