Tesla's offer to sell Cybercabs to select customers requires a $299 monthly Autonomy Subscription on top of the $29,990 purchase price and prohibits commercial use, The Verge reports. Owners cannot put the vehicles on Tesla's Robotaxi network under the order terms.

Sales are restricted to supported service areas. Canceling the subscription leaves the steering-wheel-free vehicle unusable on public roads because it has no manual fallback. Buyers must pay a $1,000 non-refundable deposit for a December delivery window that is not guaranteed.

Tesla can raise subscription prices with 30 days' notice. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is auditing how Tesla self-certified the vehicle without conventional controls; its ruling remains pending.
