Tesla Cybercab pre-orders come with geographic limits and a $299 fee

Tech reviewer Marques Brownlee said the order page requires buyers to accept delivery in one of a handful of Texas cities. The vehicle will operate only in designated geofenced areas.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Cybercab would become available nationwide as the company receives regulatory approval. He also called the monthly fee too high, saying it should be closer to the roughly $115 a month charged for Full Self-Driving and connectivity on other Tesla models.

Tesla executive Ashok Elluswamy said the Cybercab would operate unsupervised in the same geographic locations as the company’s Robotaxi service, while serving its owners’ needs.

Tesla recently said it would stop Cybertruck production next year and use the additional factory capacity to build more Cybercabs, after Cybertruck sales fell far short of projections.
