what happened

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has acknowledged that the monthly subscription needed to run the Cybercab is currently too expensive. His reply came after criticism from tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, known as MKBHD, as the company begins inviting select customers to buy the fully autonomous vehicle.

According to Stocktwits, Musk said availability would eventually extend beyond the current Texas locations, but only once regulatory approval arrives. He gave no timeline for lowering the fee. Owners currently face a subscription of about $299 a month, while Musk suggested a figure closer to $115.

why it matters

For Tesla investors, the episode shows that subscription pricing for autonomous features remains contested. Until a timeline for any fee cut is set, attention will stay on regulatory decisions and the deliveries the company expects to begin in December.
