Production Cybercabs started giving rides in Austin, and Tesla opened an interest form for businesses that want to buy and operate fleets. Someone has to fund them. We filled it out right away.

Closing in on half a million dollars raised and distributed against revenue-generating assets. The cycle already runs: underwrite, open the opportunity, fund the deployment, stream revenue back to contributors through Sync. Vehicles are next. The model does not change.

The depots and operations that keep robotaxis on the road, and how we’re preparing the first 100 cars of Fleet One.

The fares, costs, and assumptions behind one Cybercab. Our base case, the full math, and a calculator to run your own numbers.

Why robotaxis are the next productive asset, and what it takes to own, finance, and operate a fleet. We’re working through it in public.
