Tesla prices the steering wheel-free Cybercab at $29,990 with a $299 monthly subscription

Tesla has put a price on the Cybercab, the steering wheel-free two-seater it intends to sell to individuals: $29,990, plus a $299-per-month subscription for the autonomous driving software needed to operate it, with the first month free. The company says customer deliveries for personal use could begin as soon as next month.

The car is not yet on open sale. Tesla said on its Robotaxi X account that "select customers are now being invited to purchase Cybercab for personal use," and an order page screenshot shared by the company points to deliveries starting next month.

The cheapest Tesla, with conditions attached

At $29,990 the Cybercab undercuts every other Tesla on price, making it the brand's least expensive vehicle to date. The monthly $299 charge is not optional: it covers the autonomous driving subscription the car needs to run.

There are geographic limits too. Tesla says the Cybercab will not operate anywhere in the country, only within "supported service areas". Buyers outside those zones would be paying for a self-driving car that cannot drive itself everywhere, which makes the map of supported areas as important as the sticker price for anyone considering one.

Hand-picked buyers only, for now

The first Cybercabs go to invited customers rather than the general public. Tesla has not said when, or whether, ordering will open to everyone, so the wider rollout date is still unannounced.

What Tesla is selling is unusual in itself. Today's driverless cars are generally owned and run by companies operating ride-hailing fleets, among them Waymo, Zoox and Tesla itself, rather than by private individuals. A car an ordinary person can own and that drives without supervision would be a significant step for the industry and for Tesla in particular.

For Tesla, the stakes are personal. Putting autonomous cars in the hands of regular people has been one of Elon Musk's central promises for about a decade, and he has missed his own deadlines on it year after year. The Cybercab order page is the first point at which that promise takes a concrete, purchasable form.

Robotaxi service is already running

The Cybercabs in operation today belong to Tesla's Robotaxi service, which launched last year and now carries riders in a handful of US cities, including Austin and Miami. Those cars are fleet vehicles, not customer-owned ones, so the personal-sale programme is a separate track from the ride-hailing business.

Tesla has described the story as developing, and details such as the full list of supported service areas and a public order date have not been announced.

CFMoto has revealed its first superbike, the V4SR-RR, at the EICMA show in Italy, taking direct aim at litre-class machines from Ducati, BMW, Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki. The Chinese manufacturer says the bike's naturally aspirated 997cc V4 produces more than 210 horsepower, a figure it puts roughly level with rivals such as the BMW M 1000 RR and Ducati Panigale V4 S.

Engine and chassis details

The V4 uses a counter-rotating crank in the style of a Ducati V4, along with titanium connecting rods, and CFMoto says it will spin to 15,000rpm. A titanium Akrapovic exhaust is fitted.

Running gear includes Ohlins suspension, Brembo Hypure brake components and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V4 tyres as standard. CFMoto quotes a dry weight of 180kg, against 187kg without fuel for a Panigale V4 S.

Active winglets

The fairing-mounted winglets are described as active, with an angle that can change, and the two sides can operate independently to shift downforce. CFMoto claims the setup lifts front-end downforce by 20% and improves braking, though how it behaves on the road and track has not yet been independently verified.

That active aero is the most distinctive part of the package. Winglets are now common on European and Japanese superbikes, but a system that moves and works each side separately is unusual in this class, and it is the kind of feature that could set the CFMoto apart if it delivers in practice.

Carbon Black concept

A more track-focused concept called the Carbon Black appeared alongside the standard bike, finished in matte black with a different Akrapovic titanium exhaust, an STM dry slipper clutch and carbon fibre panels. CFMoto has not confirmed whether the Carbon Black will reach production.

Price and availability

CFMoto has not yet announced pricing or availability for the regular V4SR-RR. No launch date, market rollout or recommended retail price has been confirmed, so buyers in markets including Australia will need to wait for those details. The Carbon Black's production status is also still open.

The V4SR-RR is not the first Chinese superbike, but its claimed output and specification sheet put it closer to the established litre-bike class than earlier efforts. For riders, the appeal is clear on paper: Ducati-style engine architecture and premium components at a brand that has so far competed lower down the market. The unanswered question is whether CFMoto can price it to undercut the Italian, German and Japanese machines it is chasing, and that cannot be judged until the company releases figures.
