Quick answers
FAQ teaser
Can I ride a Cybercab tonight?
Invite-only guest rides in downtown Austin. There is no verified public Cybercab hail in the Robotaxi app tonight. App 26.8.0 has Cybercab-related code (auto doors, rider/safety/first-responder guides) — that is not open hailing. No official livestream URL from @Tesla or @elonmusk as of early evening. Event briefing.
Is this Tesla’s website?
No. Tesla Cybercabs is independent. We are not affiliated with Tesla, Inc. Official product and ride questions belong in Tesla’s app, vehicle, or investor channels.
Was a consumer price under $30,000 announced for retail sale?
Sub-$30k figures have been previously floated by Tesla executives and widely repeated since the October 2024 unveil. Treat them as unconfirmed for a retail Cybercab you can buy today. Timeline.
