Official target: under $30,000
The primary fact is Tesla/Musk's target of under $30,000 or $30,000 or less. It is forward-looking guidance—not a confirmed sticker price, current sale price or promise.

What is not known
No reliable Cybercab manufacturing-cost figure is available. A roughly $25,000 figure in some secondary coverage should not be promoted above Tesla's official ≤$30,000 target. Waymo's newer Zeekr Ojai vehicle-cost estimates also vary by analyst and are not an official published figure.
