Tesla opens Cybercab fleet interest form for commercial
Tesla has launched a public interest form for companies wanting to purchase fleets of its autonomous Cybercab robotaxi, signaling a move toward third-party
Tesla has opened a public interest form for commercial entities interested in buying fleets of its Cybercab robotaxi. The form went live on September 3, 2026, the same day Tesla held an invite-only Cybercab launch event in Austin, Texas.
The company titled the page "Help Us Build Our Robotaxi Network." Applicants provide contact details, company name, and deployment region. They then select from categories including Cybercab fleet vehicle purchasing, mobility hubs and infrastructure, event collaboration, or other. Tesla states a representative will follow up with those expressing commercial interest.
This marks the first official channel for commercial purchases of the two-seat autonomous vehicle. Until now, Tesla had no public ordering path for the Cybercab, which debuted as a concept in October 2024.
Vehicle Specifications and Testing
The purpose-built Cybercab is designed for unsupervised operation with no steering wheel or pedals. Regulatory filings list key specifications.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Battery | 48-kilowatt-hour |
| Motor | Single 219-horsepower front motor |
| Curb Weight | 3,113 pounds |
| EPA Range | Approximately 290 to 300 miles |
Tesla has already registered dozens of the vehicles with Texas authorities and has been testing them on public streets around Austin. The company's existing Robotaxi service, which uses modified Model Y vehicles in parts of Texas and Florida, is expected to add Cybercabs as production increases at Gigafactory Texas.
A Shift Toward Third-Party Fleets
The form indicates Tesla is preparing to treat the Cybercab as more than an in-house fleet asset. Investors and operators have reportedly discussed buying groups of the vehicles to place on Tesla's ride-hailing network, with Tesla taking a platform fee. High-profile figures have publicly stated plans to acquire fleets if Tesla allows third-party ownership.
The new page gives those parties a direct way to register interest ahead of a conventional configurator. Whether the form leads quickly to firm purchase agreements remains unclear. Regulatory approval for widespread unsupervised operation still varies by state, and Tesla has not published pricing or delivery timelines for fleet customers. The company has previously discussed a target price near $25,000 to $30,000 per vehicle.
For now, the form is an early signal that Tesla wants partners to help scale the network rather than operate every Cybercab itself.
Public Launch and Asian Tour
Tesla has officially opened Cybercab rides to the public in Austin. The company confirmed on September 4 that the two-seater is available in its Robotaxi fleet within a geofenced area of the city.
Simultaneously, Tesla Asia announced the Cybercab will be on display in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai this month. Exact dates and venues have not been released. Tesla Hong Kong stated the vehicle "will be on display in Hong Kong soon," while Tesla Japan directed fans to a sign-up page for updates. The report notes these stops are likely static displays to generate buzz, not the launch of Robotaxi operations in those cities.
The timing aligns with Tesla's only prior Cybercab appearance in the region, a booth at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai in November 2025. Whether the Cybercab will operate as a robotaxi in Asia is an open question, given China's existing autonomous ride-hailing market led by domestic players.
Pairing the fleet interest form with the Austin event and Asian tour is no coincidence. Tesla is inviting businesses to participate in the next phase of its Robotaxi plan as the production vehicle first appears in public.
