Your Cybercab fleet, fully run.

DockDuty is the independent Cybercab depot network for private owners. You keep the title. We will park, charge, clean and dispatch the car from a DockDuty stall. When the depot opens, owners drop off the car and get monthly statements.

Real numbers from real Tesla telemetry. This session is AC because the test car charged at home; the Cybercabs seen so far charge DC only, through a NACS port, and DockDuty stalls are planned around DC. The panel records either kind the same way: one row per session, every kWh accounted for.

How it works

Park. Charge. Reset.
Repeat.

Your Cybercab pulls in between rides. We’ll park it. We’ll charge it. We’ll reset it. One car or fifty, same job, every time.

1 Park

Secure dock, your stall.

Planned fenced lot at our Orlando depot (targeted Q4 2026). Your Cybercab will get its own stall. Cameras will run 24/7. We’ll carry garage-keeper coverage on every car in our care, to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle.

Monthly retainer
2 Charge

Charged on-site, every stall.

The Cybercab as it exists today takes DC power only, through a NACS port: there is no onboard AC charger, so a home wall connector cannot charge it. Every DockDuty stall is planned around DC charging, with conduit sized for the wireless pads Tesla has described. No Supercharger detours, no home install.

Included in your retainer
3 Reset

Cleaned, calibrated, dispatched.

Interior wash between rides. Sensor cleaning. Software updates pushed and verified. Then your car goes back on the network: Tesla’s, ours, parcel routes in Year 2.

Monthly retainer + 13–15% of gross ride revenue

What is a Cybercab depot?

A Cybercab depot is a physical facility that handles the between-rides work for a fleet of Tesla Cybercabs: parking, charging, cleaning, dispatch coordination, and incident response. Tesla makes the cars; depot operators like DockDuty run the operations layer underneath. The full explainer is on our Cybercab depot page, and we cover the wider category in what a robotaxi depot actually does. A depot is meant to take the daily charging, cleaning and staging off the owner’s plate. Priority stall reservations are open in every metro we list. Orlando is our lead market; our Orlando depot is targeted for Q4 2026.

More: depots vs. fleet software, and the expansion plan

Physical depot vs. fleet management software: software platforms manage data about your fleet. A physical Cybercab depot actually parks, charges, and dispatches the cars. DockDuty is a depot operator: building the lots, on-site charging, cleaning operations, and 24-hour incident response. We’re not a SaaS dashboard with a logo.

Spread out fast: Our Orlando dock is targeted to open in Q4 2026, with more metros planned. Florida has the most permissive autonomous-vehicle law in the country (FS §316.85), and we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens. Every new metro that turns on autonomous-vehicle ride-hailing needs a depot operator, and we’re built to follow the cars. If you’re weighing the options today, we walk through where to park your fleet of Cybercabs on the blog.

01
Onboard in a single visit
Bring your Cybercab to a DockDuty depot when one opens. We verify titling, your commercial insurance policy, and pair it with our dispatch system. Baseline maintenance check, then it’s on the active fleet.
02
We will run the dock
Once a depot opens: charging, cleaning, software updates, incident response, dispatch across networks. You will get a real-time dashboard showing utilization, revenue, and any maintenance flags.
03
Get paid
Estimated owner take-home, a projection and not a promise: $2,231–$3,114/month per car if you’re financing, or $2,825–$3,708 if you paid cash, at 65–80% utilization on the 1–2 cab Priority rate, after our fee and your overhead. Run your own numbers. How and when trip earnings reach owners depends on terms Tesla hasn’t published, so we don’t promise a payout date.

Drop your car off, then log in as much or as little as you want; we run the car the same either way. Whether it earns, and how much, depends on Cybercab launch pricing, ride mix, and Tesla launching customer-owner participation under commercially workable terms.

The dock network

Priority stall reservations are open. Pick your metro.

This round is open at Priority rates: one spot per person or company (50 Priority accounts this round), however many cars, no cap on fleet size. Priority stall reservations are open in every metro below. Orlando is our lead market; our Orlando depot is targeted for Q4 2026, and no depot is open yet. Reserving in another metro holds your place for when a depot there is planned. Same $450 refundable deposit; reservation order decides who onboards first.

Founding reservations closed September 5, 2026. No depot is open yet. Priority stall reservations are open in every metro we list. Orlando is our lead market and where most reservations are; our Orlando depot is targeted for Q4 2026, and we’re planning locations in several more metros at the same time. One Priority spot per person or company, no cap on fleet size.

This round is open in every metro we list at Priority rates, one spot per person or company (50 Priority accounts this round), no cap on fleet size. Your $450 is fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded and credits in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee.

The bigger picture

Every robotaxi city needs a depot.
The network creates the company.

Orlando is where we start, not the plan. Every metro that opens to autonomous vehicles creates the same recurring physical need, and that need cannot be served from a head office. It has to exist locally, in every market, which is what makes it both repeatable and hard to displace.

Orlando is our lead market and the only DockDuty depot with a target date. The other metros on this page collect owner reservations as demand. No further location is committed.

The economics, projected

If Tesla hits their cost target,
autonomy lands ~90% under Waymo.

The case for AV fleets (and for the dock that supports them) comes down to cost-per-mile. None of these numbers are operating yet: the ~$0.20/mi figure is a long-term operating-cost target Elon Musk stated at Tesla’s October 10, 2024 “We, Robot” Cybercab reveal, a forward-looking statement, not measured fleet performance. Tesla’s Q3 2024 shareholder deck describes the same goal (“a cost per mile below rideshare, personal car ownership and even public transit”) without attaching a number, and no Tesla SEC filing states $0.20. DockDuty uses it as a modeling assumption; actual costs could differ materially.

Pre-launch projection. Not a guarantee. About this projection
Pre-launch projection. Revenue is shown after Tesla’s network share at the percentage you set (an assumption; Tesla has published no rate, and 30% is the ceiling we model) and after our platform fee at your selected fleet tier (15% at 1–2 cabs, 15% at 3–4, 14% at 5–6, 13% at 7+), and the monthly retainer drops from $550 to $475 per stall across those same tiers. Insurance is modeled at $400/mo per car, the bottom of the $400–$800 AV-policy band; at the top of that band, subtract another $400 per car per month. Financing estimates depend on your underwriting. None of these numbers are guaranteed. They’re modeled on Tesla’s stated ~$0.20/mi long-term Cybercab operating-cost target from its October 2024 “We, Robot” presentation, a forward-looking Tesla statement rather than measured fleet results. They also assume Tesla launches customer-owner participation under commercially workable terms, a dependency outside our control. Tesla has publicly described owner-supplied vehicles and revenue sharing as part of its future Robotaxi model, but the program is not live and its eligibility, revenue split, insurance and hardware requirements are unpublished. Your real numbers will move with Tesla’s actual ride pricing, your utilization, and your specific cost structure.

This is a model, not a guarantee. It rests on three things outside our control: Cybercab shipping in volume, Tesla approaching its stated ~$0.20/mi long-term Cybercab operating-cost target, and, the big one, Tesla launching customer-owner participation under commercially workable terms. Tesla has publicly described owner-supplied vehicles and revenue sharing as part of its future Robotaxi model; what is unpublished is the launch date, eligibility, revenue split, insurance and operating requirements. If any of those doesn’t land, your $450 stays fully refundable, right up until the day your car is actually onboarded, with refunds initiated within 5 business days.

Pricing

The bigger your fleet,
the smaller our cut.

Every owner pays a monthly retainer per stall plus a per-ride service fee, and both drop as your fleet grows, on the Priority schedule, from $550/mo and 15% at 1–2 cabs to $475/mo and 13% at 7 cabs and up. The founding class (the first 50 stalls) is closed.

Every other fee, what the retainer does and does not cover, and the refund terms are on the full pricing page.

Getting started
$450 reserves your stall. $1,000 onboards your cab.
Reservation: $450. Locks your stall in the order book and counts toward your onboarding fee. Fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded at the dock.
Onboarding: $1,000 total per cab when your Cybercab arrives. Covers DockDuty’s onboarding services: delivery coordination and local pickup (we coordinate getting the car to our dock), insurance verification, intake inspection (walk-around photos + VIN documentation for our records), and dispatch system pairing. Vehicle price, taxes, registration, insurance premiums, and any third-party freight charges are separate. With the reservation credit applied, $550 is due at intake.

Monthly retainer starts when your cab goes live on the network, billed at your tier above. You pick your metro when you reserve. This round is open in every metro we list, one spot per person or company (50 Priority accounts this round), with no cap on fleet size. Orlando is our lead market; our Orlando depot is targeted for Q4 2026, and reservation order decides who onboards first. New owners pay the Priority rates above.
Reserving five or more stalls?

Stalls are open now at the Priority schedule: reserve as many as you need in one checkout, in any metro we list, with no cap on fleet size. At five or more cabs the retainer drops to $500/stall and a 14% ride cut, and at seven or more to $475 and 13%.

An LLC, corporation or partnership can be the reserving party. You enter the entity in the flow and it is named on the agreement you sign. Prefer to talk it through first? Tell us about your fleet.

The paper behind the pitch

Written into the agreement, not the marketing.

Everything below is a section of the Priority reservation agreement, the document you e-sign in the reservation flow and receive executed by email after payment. Read it in full before you pay a dollar.

Your money
  • Where deposits are held. Deposits are held at Mercury in separate, labeled accounts, kept apart from our operating balance. Owners can request a written confirmation letter. (§2.3)
  • Refundable until the day your car is onboarded. No reason or documentation required. To request a refund, email owners@dockduty.com from the email on file. Refunds initiate to your original payment method within 5 business days. (§3.1–3.2)
  • Automatic refunds on a public no-open announcement or shutdown. If DockDuty publicly announces it will not open any depot, or ceases operations, outstanding deposits are refunded automatically within 30 days. You don’t have to ask. (§3.3)
Your rate
  • Priority rates protected. Your per-ride fee percentage will not be increased for as long as you keep at least one vehicle enrolled. The monthly retainer can adjust at most once a calendar year, by no more than CPI-U, and not before the first anniversary of your first onboarding. (§4.1)
  • Charging included, no markup. Charging electricity at the depot is part of the retainer: no separate energy bills, session fees, or equipment charges. (§4.1)
Your flexibility
  • A network reservation, not a city bet. When we announce a depot’s market, you choose: onboard there in order-book priority, wait for your preferred metro with position and benefits unchanged, or take a full refund. You tell us in writing within 30 days; if you don’t reply, you’re set to onboard there. (§1.3–1.4)
  • A hard date, in your control. If your first car isn’t onboarded by December 31, 2028 and the delay isn’t on your side, you choose: full refund, or 12-month extensions, at your sole option. (§3.3)
  • Month-to-month by contract floor. The Service Agreement will be month-to-month: no minimum term, no early-termination penalty, exit notice capped at 30 days. (§4.3, §5.2)
Your car
  • Title never moves. Your vehicles stay in your name at all times. Nothing in the agreement transfers any ownership interest to DockDuty. (§4.3)

The founding class closed at 50 stalls before this agreement, and founding clients rank ahead of Priority clients. Priority clients rank ahead of any later standard class, and we won’t offer a later class lower rates than yours at the same fleet size without extending the lower rate to you. (§4.2)

Common questions

Things people actually ask.

If your question isn’t here, the founders read every email at support@dockduty.com.

A Cybercab depot (also called a robotaxi depot) is a physical facility that parks, charges, cleans, and dispatches Tesla Cybercabs between rides, so owners don't run the daily operation themselves. Orlando is our lead market; our Orlando depot is targeted to open in Q4 2026, and the owner platform behind it is already live in a public demo, no login required. Our guide to where a Tesla Cybercab parks and charges between rides covers the details.
Tesla makes cars, not depots. Every fleet before this (airlines, trucking, rental cars) ended up with specialists who handle the between-rides work. A robotaxi depot is that specialist for autonomous fleets, and Cybercab will be the same. Charging, cleaning, dispatch. None of that goes away just because the car drives itself. Someone has to do it. We’re building that operation in Orlando. (More on owning a Cybercab as a fleet vehicle.)
The founding book filled on September 5, 2026. The reserve flow now sells Priority stalls: one Priority spot per person or company, no cap on fleet size, open in every metro we list. Orlando is our lead market; our Orlando depot is targeted for Q4 2026, and no depot is open yet. When a stall reopens or new capacity comes online, founding clients are contacted first, then Priority Reservation holders in the order received. Owners who reserve through that later capacity pay our Priority rate schedule: $550, $525, $500 and $475 per stall per month at 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 and 7+ cabs, with a 15%, 15%, 14% and 13% per-ride service fee. Founding rates are $450, $400, $375 and $350 with a 15%, 15%, 13% and 11% fee: a fixed difference of $100 per vehicle per month at 1–2 cabs and $125 at every larger tier, which is $1,200 a year for one vehicle and $15,000 a year for ten. Those figures cover the retainer only, because the retainer is the part that does not depend on what a car earns; where founding also carries a lower per-ride fee we state it in points rather than dollars. Founding rates are written into Section 4.1 of the agreements founding clients signed and, once signed, cannot be reduced by a later amendment (Section 11.3). Priority rates are separate paper and may carry the applicable annual CPI-U adjustment. Nothing here is a projection of earnings.
Orlando is our lead market, with locations in several more metros planned at the same time, and our Orlando dock is targeted for Q4 2026. That is a target, not a promise: no site lease is signed yet. Owners are onboarded in reservation order, starting approximately 30 days before the dock opens.
Honestly. They might. Nobody outside Tesla knows the date (we track every promise, dated), so our buildout tracks vehicle availability, not a date on a wall. Your protection doesn’t depend on the timeline: the $450 stays fully refundable until your car is actually onboarded, and if your first car hasn’t onboarded by December 31, 2028 (and the delay isn’t on your side) you choose a full refund or keep extending, at your sole option. The dock itself is OEM-agnostic: it can service any autonomous fleet that needs turnaround between rides. Cybercab is our flagship use case, not our only one.
Tesla has publicly described owner-supplied vehicles and revenue sharing as part of its future Robotaxi model, including in its 2025 proxy statement, but it has described the concept, not launched a program, and no eligibility, insurance, revenue-split or timing terms have been published. If it never launches on workable terms, our flagship use case doesn’t happen, and your money never left the table. The $450 stays refundable until the day your car is onboarded, and the dock is OEM-agnostic: parking, charging, cleaning, and dispatch work for any autonomous fleet, not just Tesla’s. We’d rather name the dependency than pretend it doesn’t exist.
Seven more owner questions
Yes. Your reservation attaches to the DockDuty network, not to one city. You’ll need commercial AV insurance on the car; we help you source it during onboarding. Florida law allows driverless operation (FS §316.85). Your commercial AV policy is the primary coverage, and DockDuty’s garage-keeper and general liability coverage is to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle.
Not at the same time, and not yet. The plan is for a car to run on Tesla’s network during peak demand and on ours off-peak (parcel runs, hotel shuttles). A DockDuty off-peak line is planned for a depot’s second year; it does not run yet, and neither does switching a car between ride-hail and other work.
Month-to-month from Day 1, no minimum term, no early-termination fees. Give us 30 days’ notice and we’ll have your Cybercab cleaned, fully charged, and ready for pickup or transport at the dock. How and when trip earnings reach owners depends on terms Tesla hasn’t published, so we don’t promise a payout date. We earn your business every month, not at signup.
Your $450 deposit is refundable at your request at any time before your vehicle is onboarded, with no reason or documentation required. If DockDuty publicly announces it will not open any depot, or ceases operations, outstanding deposits are refunded automatically within 30 days. The Reservation Agreement (§3) governs. To request a refund, email owners@dockduty.com from the email on file. Refunds are initiated within 5 business days of your request. We’d rather you reserve knowing you can change your mind than feel locked into a pre-launch company.
The planned depot will have a fenced lot, gates and 24/7 cameras. Our garage-keeper coverage (to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle) will handle damage that happens while your car is in our care (parking, charging, cleaning). Out on a ride, your commercial policy covers it (we help you find one). Every handoff between the two is in your agreement before you sign.
Coverage breaks down by where and what:

While in our lot (parking, charging, cleaning): our garage-keeper coverage, to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle, will cover damage that happens in our care.

While operating on the network (dispatched on a ride). Your commercial AV policy is the primary coverage.

While you’re using it personally (took it home, road trip). Your own auto coverage applies, just like any private vehicle.

After any incident on our side, you get a full report within 24 hours: photos, what happened, the insurance handling timeline. We don’t hide damage from owners.
Yes, commercial AV insurance on the vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. AV-grade commercial policies typically run $400–$800/month per vehicle depending on coverage limits and your driving record/profile. We help you source it during onboarding through a commercial insurance broker of your choice; we don’t have a broker to recommend yet (the AV insurance market is small and most generalist brokers can’t write these policies).

DockDuty will carry the surrounding coverage (to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle) so you don’t have to:
• Garage-keeper coverage for any damage that happens while your car is in our lot
• General business liability for our operations.

What this looks like in practice: your commercial premium is part of your monthly overhead (alongside financing if you have it). On our projected model (assuming Tesla’s target operating cost and typical ride volume) a typical owner would cover overhead within the first ~14 days of the month financed (~8 days cash), with the balance flowing to take-home. Real utilization, real insurance quotes, and Cybercab’s actual ride pricing will move that number once we’re live.
Three reasons. (1) Florida has the friendliest AV law in the country. (2) Lake Nona is already an AV hub: Beep, an autonomous-shuttle company, is based there. (3) Theme parks, MCO airport, and 120,000+ hotel rooms mean a lot of short rides every day. Only the Bay Area beats it.
