You Can Now Let Tesla Know You Want to Buy a Cybercab

Tesla has launched a new online interest form for businesses wanting to buy Cybercab fleets and build out mobility infrastructure for the commercial Robotaxi network.

Ever since Elon Musk first unveiled the Cybercab in August 2024, prospective buyers have been wondering when they could finally order one. Following the start of public passenger rides in Austin last week, Tesla has quietly taken its first step toward commercial sales by launching an official Robotaxi interest form on its website.

Titled “Help Us Build Our Robotaxi Network,” the newly launched page invites external partners to signal their interest in future commercial opportunities to buy Cybercabs. Rather than serving as an instant reservation checkout for private retail buyers, the form opens a direct line for enterprises looking to participate in Tesla’s expanding Robotaxi service.

Tesla notably skipped retail pricing or order details during the Cybercab launch event in Austin last week, where presentations focused almost entirely on the purpose-built two-seater’s specs, manufacturing innovations, robotaxi roadmap.

Geared for Fleets, Hubs, and Infrastructure Partners

Judging from the form’s structure, the target audience is clear: Tesla is seeking business clients rather than individual commuters.

Alongside standard fields for names, contact information, and target deployment regions, the questionnaire requires a Company Name. Applicants can choose from four primary areas of interest:

  • Cybercab fleet vehicle purchasing

  • Mobility hubs and infrastructure

  • Event collaboration

  • Other

This setup marks a distinct shift in focus. The portal is designed for commercial fleet operators who want to buy fleets of purpose-built autonomous vehicles to run on Tesla’s Robotaxi network. It also seeks infrastructure partners capable of building high-capacity turnaround depots, matching Tesla’s plans for automated charging and cleaning hubs.

For the everyday driver hoping to purchase a single Cybercab for private use while renting it out on the Robotaxi service during downtime to earn extra cash, an open consumer order page (or any other information, for that matter) is yet to arrive.

Tesla recently asked Cybercab riders how it could improve the vehicle, and you can bet a lot of the responses will be about making it available to purchase. However, commercial Cybercab rides alone have led to a formal NHTSA investigation, so there’s no telling what kind of scrutiny public orders would kick up.

Delivery Timelines and Global Expansion

Cybercabs are only offering public rides in Austin at the moment, so it stands to reason that customer deliveries to private buyers remain a ways away. Even so, Tesla maintains that direct sales will happen eventually. Musk previously claimed that Tesla could sell its first Cybercab to a customer for a sub-$30,000 sticker price before the end of this year. In fact, he has an ongoing wager with popular creator MKBHD on the very matter.

Opening a fleet interest portal suggests Tesla is actively lining up commercial partners to scale deployments quickly as Giga Texas scales Cybercab production.

It’ll be interesting to see how Cybercab timelines play out over the coming year — especially whether Tesla’s first Cybercab delivery to a private buyer or the launch of commercial rides in Europe comes first. For now, commercial operators looking to buy Cybercabs and join the Robotaxi network can officially raise their hands.
