Will Tesla's Cybercab be released by 2030 with a sticker price of $30,000 or less?

Question

Background

Tesla unveiled plans for the Cybercab, a futuristic robotaxi, with Elon Musk indicating mass production could begin by 2026 or 2027. The company has projected a price point under $30,000, positioning it as an affordable autonomous vehicle option.

Resolution Criteria

This market will resolve YES if both of the following conditions are met:

Tesla officially releases (meaning makes availible for order or pre-order to the general public) the Cybercab for sale to the public before January 1, 2030

Any model's cash price on the Tesla website is $30,000 or less at launch

The market will resolve NO if:

The Cybercab is not released by December 31, 2029

The Cybercab is released but the cash price is listed as more than $30,000

Tesla clearly states that they are canceling the preduction of the Cybercab

Note: The price used will be the price that does not include estimated tax credits, gas savings, or estimated taxes and fees, as all of those things are subject to change. Any fees that are not absolutely necessary or that shift with location will also not be included (i.e. shipping fees, chargers)

Should there be a dispute, the rules provided will control over the answer to the question itself. While, the question is intended to provide an easy way for people to bet on their beliefs, it is not the end all be all, and all traders should look at the rules. Please don't hesitate to ask clarifying questions in the comments. In the unlikely event of significant ambiguity regarding whether the resolution criteria have been met. I reserve the right to resolve a question to a percentage that I deem fair. I will give notice before I do this.
