EVwire brief: Tesla has published an interest form on their website, quite hidden for now, for those looking to purchase Cybercab fleets. The form went up alongside a revamped Robotaxi website on the same day the production Cybercab is set to be launched at an event in Austin, Texas. EVwire was first to find the new site through the Cybercab FAQ.
This Cybercab fleet order form asks for company details, a deployment region, and lets interested parties select from four categories: Cybercab fleet vehicle purchasing, mobility hubs and infrastructure, event collaboration, or other. The webpage seems aimed squarely at fleet buyers and business partners.
By the way, it sure looks to us like you are an EV geek like ourselves.

“Yes, I would like to help build the Robotaxi Network.” I reckon quite a number of interested customers would be filling this form out today. - Simon
This is the first time Tesla has opened a public-facing channel specifically for Cybercab fleet purchases.

“If you are interested in purchasing a fleet or an individual Cybercab vehicle for commercial purposes, fill out the form and a representative will contact you.”
Until now, the two-seat autonomous vehicle had no retail or fleet ordering mechanism. Tesla has previously indicated that early Cybercab units would operate within its own network before broader sales.
The "mobility hubs and infrastructure" option is quite notable, as it suggests Tesla is looking for partners who can provide physical locations for Cybercab staging, charging, and servicing.
Context:
Tesla's Cybercab is the company's first vehicle designed exclusively for autonomous operation. It has two seats, no steering wheel, and no pedals. The production unveil event in Austin today coincides with Nevada's recent approval of permits for Tesla to operate up to 5,000 robotaxis in Clark County over the next 12 months, though Tesla has indicated it expects to deploy around 2,500 vehicles within that period. More recently, Tesla has also added dozens of Cybercabs to its Robotaxi fleet in Austin.
The interest form does not list pricing, delivery timelines, or minimum fleet sizes, but the fact that Tesla is actively soliciting fleet buyers on the same day it reveals the production vehicle suggests that the commercial pipeline is open for the little golden Robotaxi.
