How Tesla describes it
Tesla describes Cybercab as a two-seat vehicle with no steering wheel, built to drive itself, with room for luggage and a large touchscreen for riders. Tesla calls it a golden two-seater
(Tesla's phrase, tesla.com/robotaxi).

What it means for our network
We intend to purchase Cybercab vehicles when they are made available for fleet use, and to operate them in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington first. Because Tesla has not published fleet pricing or timelines, we are not quoting either; we are organizing the capital, hub locations, and partners now so that we are ready when the vehicles are.
If you want to own or purchase Cybercab vehicles for fleet use, or to be part of a fleet that does, the interest form is the place to start.
