TOKYO: 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 US$29,990 with an "Autonomy Subscription" of US$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 US$115 per month.
