Late Friday night, Tesla began inviting "select customers" to purchase its Cybercab for personal use. The driverless vehicle, which has no steering wheel or pedals, costs $29,990 and requires a $299-a-month "Autonomy Subscription."
"Select customers are now being invited to purchase Cybercab for personal use," Tesla's Robotaxi X account said.

Selected customers who received the notification last night will have to put down a $1,000 nonrefundable deposit to order. But there's a catch: the driverless vehicle will only work inside Tesla's Robotaxi service areas in Texas and Florida.
Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt broke down the subscription agreement for Cybercab autonomy:
- You can only use the Cybercab for personal use (for now). You can't use it commercially.
- You can't modify Cybercab, including adding wraps, window tint, or changing wheels, except through Tesla or an authorized provider.
- Three or more safety strikeouts result in a one-week suspension, during which Cybercab may be unable to operate.
- Cybercab has touchscreen-based manual controls that allow movement at speeds up to 2 mph, intended for short-distance maneuvering rather than public-road driving.
- Cybercab can autonomously drive itself, without passengers, to a Tesla Service Center for maintenance and return home afterward.
