You want one.
But not for yourself.

Here's what owning a Cybercab means. It carries paying riders on Tesla's ride-hailing network, the fares come to you as the owner, and so do the costs of keeping it insured, charged, clean and on the road.

What the owner does

Tesla's software drives. The owner buys the vehicle, decides where and when it works, pays for insurance, charging, cleaning and repairs, and keeps whatever is left after Tesla's share and those costs. Nobody has published Tesla's share or the full terms for independent owners yet.

Designed to earn, not to be driven

Most vehicles are designed around a driver. This one was designed around a business, and it shows in how it's made.

  1. Built in big sections at once. Tesla's "unboxed" process builds the front, rear and floor in parallel and joins them once, instead of building a vehicle up piece by piece.
  2. Colour moulded into the panels. The outer panels are coloured plastic rather than painted metal, so there's no paint shop, and a scratch shows the same gold underneath.
  3. About half the parts of a Model 3. That's according to Tesla's lead engineer on the project. Fewer parts means less to go wrong.
  4. Cameras, not a roof of sensors. Tesla relies on cameras rather than the bulky spinning sensors of earlier robotaxis, which is a big part of how it aims to keep the price down.
  5. Designed to charge itself. It's built for wireless charging pads, so it can top up with nobody there to plug it in.

A machine designed to be cheap to build, cheap to run and built to keep working. That's what makes it worth owning.

It has already arrived

The production line is running in Texas, and Cybercabs started carrying paying riders in Austin in September. The machine is real.

The ownership rules aren't written yet, which gives you a window to get prepared.

Can regular people even own one?

Not yet. Tesla has said most Cybercabs will start out in its own fleet, and nobody has published how, or when, anyone else can own one.

The people who've thought it through will be ready to pounce when the details land.

Questions owners ask

Can I buy a Cybercab yet?

Not yet. Ownership terms haven't been published, and Tesla has said it expects most Cybercabs to be in its own fleet. However, plenty of opportunity is still likely. The key is to prepare now. Those who succeed will be ready on day one.

Will it make me money?

That's the whole point of owning one. It's built to work, and to earn for its owner, even while you sleep. But nobody can guarantee a profit at this stage. Have a play with the simulator to see what really drives the numbers.

What does an owner actually do?

Makes it happen! Picks where it works, keeps it clean and charged, sorts the insurance and makes the decisions. The vehicle drives itself, but the owner runs the business.

Do you lend money?

No. We're a broker. We’ll make you more reliable and capable. When lenders begin to offer terms, we'll introduce you to options that best suit your plans. We won’t do any hard checks that affect your credit score.

What's an Operator Passport?

It's the record of you as an owner and operator, built from your Owner Profile, your level of learning and what you can show about running vehicles or a business. It can help you get finance on better terms.

Who are you?

We're Intermission Group, an independent company that finds, supports and prepares would-be Cybercab owners. We believe driverless cabs will one day be the dominant form of transport on our roads, and we're here to make sure the human side is as strong as it can be.

I'm not in a big city. Does that count?

It's not a problem. Some of the best places to run one may be outside big cities.
