Cybercabs charging at a night plaza beside a depot blueprint wall

For vehicle owners

Run the numbers. Then place the cars.

One car is a lease, an insurance policy and a depot contract. A fleet is the same decision made repeatedly. Both start with the model below and end with where the car sleeps.

The operator model

Every input is editable. The defaults follow the published lease model; buy-outright is one toggle away. The charts show modeled monthly cash and payback on your inputs. None of the defaults is confirmed.

Hypothetical model.Estimate These figures come from the assumptions you set, not from any operator's results. No Cybercab has yet been delivered to an independent operator. Fares, platform take rate, financing and insurance are set by Tesla and third parties and are not final. Actual results will vary and may include losses. This is not an offer, a forecast, or investment advice.

Break-even is the utilization where the fares you keep cover every fixed line: vehicle, insurance and depot. Below it, the modeled car loses money every month.

Cumulative net cash, first 36 months

Starts negative by the amount you put in, then follows your inputs. Crossing zero is the modeled payback month.

Net cash by year

Each bar is that year alone, not a running total. Modeled on your inputs.

Placement

The market sets the ceiling. The depot sets the day.

Two identical cars in two different bases do not run the same paid miles. Stall count, charge speed and distance to demand decide how many paid miles fit between charges.

Find capacity

Capacity is not evenly distributed. Screen where a site can take your vehicles today, on service that already exists.

Screen a site near your demand

Enter a candidate address and see how many of your vehicles it charges today, and how many after an upgrade.

Find capacity

Compare markets

The city index ranks markets on scale, trip economics, airport anchor, concentration, utilization and origin-and-destination purity.

Find a depot that keeps your car at five stars

Riders rate every trip, and a low rating is the fastest way for a car to lose work. Whether a car shows up clean, charged and on time is decided at the depot more than in the car. We score depots on the three things that keep a car at a five-star rider rating.

Clean between rides

Interior turned on a fixed cadence between charges, exterior washed on schedule, spot-cleaned on any rider report. A car that arrives dirty loses rating first.

Charging uptime

Stalls live when the car returns, with connector mix and amperage matched to the fleet so no car waits for power.

Maintenance turnaround

Tires, brakes and routine service on site or same day, so a fault costs hours off the road, not days.

Grow the fleet

Expansion planning across cities: which market takes the next block of vehicles, what the ground there supports, and what the regulatory position is.

What the ground supports

Available stalls and vehicle ceilings by site, on existing and upgraded service.

What it costs to be there

Stall reservation cost, energy cost and upgrade lead time.

Where the rules allow it

Regulatory position by market: live today, announced or testing, exploring, blocked.
