How this market settles

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Tesla sells at least one Cybercab vehicle to a qualifying retail customer for a base purchase price of $30,000 USD or less by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” “Cybercab” refers to the specific autonomous vehicle unveiled by Tesla in October 2024 under the Cybercab name, or a clearly designated successor product marketed by Tesla as the same vehicle model. A qualifying retail customer must be a member of the general public purchasing the vehicle in a bona fide retail transaction under publicly available terms. Sales to employees, executives, family members, subsidiaries, internal entities, or for promotional, testing, or internal fleet purposes will not qualify. The base purchase price refers to the vehicle’s listed retail price before taxes, registration fees, delivery fees, financing costs, or third-party incentives. Official Tesla discounts or manufacturer incentives count toward the base price. Preorders, deposits, announced pricing targets, prototype deliveries, or internal fleet deployments will not qualify unless a completed retail sale meeting the above criteria occurs. The primary resolution source will be official information from Tesla, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

What could still go wrong

  • 'Clearly designated successor product marketed by Tesla as the same vehicle model' is subjective and could be disputed if Tesla rebrands or modifies the Cybercab significantly
  • 'Consensus of credible reporting' as a secondary resolution source is undefined — no specific outlets or threshold for consensus are specified
  • The definition of 'general public purchasing under publicly available terms' may be ambiguous if Tesla uses invitation-only or waitlist sales that are technically open to the public
  • Official Tesla discounts counting toward base price could be ambiguous if Tesla offers targeted or limited-time discounts not universally available
  • No specification of which timezone governs 'completed sale' — whether contract execution, payment, or physical delivery determines completion
  • Federal or state EV tax credits are explicitly excluded as third-party incentives, but the treatment of direct manufacturer rebates applied at point of sale may be ambiguous in edge cases
