Tesla already carries passengers here. Get on the ownership side.
The SF Bay Area is one of Tesla’s seven robotaxi metros (per Tesla’s Q2 2026 report, July 22, 2026), its first expansion beyond Austin, carrying riders here since July 2025, and it’s the only one where the rides still carry safety drivers, under a California TCP permit. Add Waymo and Zoox in San Francisco and you’re living in the densest multi-operator overlap in the country. If you ride with robots already and want to own the next wave of them, this page is the honest version of how that works with DockDuty today.
The honest status: no Bay Area depot yet
Where DockDuty stands · September 2026
Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; the founding book (50 stalls, network-wide) sold out September 5, 2026. Capacity that opens next sells at Priority rates.
We are planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay. Beyond those, we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens: and the Bay Area, with three operators already sharing its streets, makes its own case loudly.
Where we build next is shaped by demand we can point to. That’s exactly what the list at the bottom of this page is.

Where the Bay Area stands in the DockDuty Network
- Status
- Demand open. Owners can elect this market at checkout and the count is published; nothing else is committed.
- Stall reservations naming the Bay Area
- No stall reservations name the Bay Area yet.
- What the count means
- One stall reservation is one Cybercab stall reserved with a paid or clearing $450 refundable deposit that names a preferred market. The count is stalls, not clients, and a reservation is not a vehicle on site or an operating stall. Unpaid, failed, cancelled and refunded checkouts never count. No DockDuty depot is operating anywhere yet.
- Depot status
- Owners can reserve and name this market. That records demand; it is not a depot project or a commitment to open.
- What would bring DockDuty to the Bay Area
DockDuty opens a market when enough reservations point at it to support a depot, a driverless service is carrying paying riders there or state law allows one, and a site with the power to charge the fleet is available. Orlando is the lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; DockDuty is planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay, with no site, lease or date yet.
- Enough Bay Area reservations to support a depot.
- Tesla rides run here with safety drivers today under a California TCP permit; Waymo and Zoox run driverless in San Francisco.
- What a Bay Area site needs
- Space at depot scale: room to park, stage and clean a fleet, not a handful of spaces.
- Commercial power that can scale with the fleet.
- DC fast charging. The Cybercab charges DC-only through the NACS port and has no onboard AC charger.
- 24/7 access and staffing.
- Proximity to ride demand.

How many stall reservations name the Bay Area?
None yet (as of live count).
DockDuty publishes the current count of stall reservations naming the Bay Area on this page, dated to the day it was read from the reservation system. One stall reservation is one Cybercab stall reserved with a paid or clearing $450 refundable deposit that names a preferred market. The count is stalls, not clients, and a reservation is not a vehicle on site or an operating stall. Unpaid, failed, cancelled and refunded checkouts never count.
What would make DockDuty open a depot in the Bay Area?
DockDuty opens a market when enough reservations point at it to support a depot, a driverless service is carrying paying riders there or state law allows one, and a site with the power to charge the fleet is available. Orlando is the lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; DockDuty is planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay, with no site, lease or date yet.
Can I offer a site or a lot in the Bay Area?
Yes. Use the site form on the DockDuty Network page and name the Bay Area. A Bay Area site needs space at depot scale, commercial power that can scale, DC fast charging (the Cybercab charges DC-only through the NACS port and has no onboard AC charger), 24/7 access and staffing, and proximity to ride demand.
Priority stalls are open from the Bay Area
Every stall sells at our Priority rates with a $450 refundable deposit, in every metro we list. Reserve a Priority stall, elect Bay Area, CA in the flow, and your spot is a Priority spot this round.
You don't have to wait for a Bay Area dock
DockDuty is an own-from-anywhere platform, and the reservation attaches to the network, not to one city:
- Reserve a Priority stall today: Priority stall reservations are open in every metro we list. Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; no depot is open yet. The $450 deposit is taken at checkout, is fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded and credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee.
- When DockDuty announces the next depot with capacity for your stall, you have 30 days to tell us in writing whether to onboard there, keep waiting for a depot in your market, or take a refund. If you don’t reply, you’re set to onboard at that depot. Once your car is onboarded, we’ll park, charge, clean, and dispatch; you watch it from the Bay Area on the same dashboard our founding clients use today.
- Elect Bay Area, CA as your preferred market right in the reservation flow. When the network reaches your metro, your preference is already on file.
Want the money math first? Run the Cybercab earnings calculator: set your assumptions, see the full fee breakdown, and have your exact scenario emailed to you. Projections, not guarantees: nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history yet, including us.
We also track every live US robotaxi market on the US Robotaxi Map, jump to the Bay Area, updated as markets open and free for anyone to cite.
The Bay Area list
Where we build next is a demand question, and this list is the demand. Join it and two things happen: you get one email if a Bay Area depot moves from roadmap to real, and your interest is counted when we pick the next metro. No drip sequence, and one-click unsubscribe.
Stalls are open in Bay Area, CA right now, become a Priority client for $450 per cab, fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded.
Why the Bay Area matters to a depot company
No other metro packs this many operators onto the same streets: Tesla carries passengers here (safety drivers aboard, under its California TCP permit), Waymo operates in San Francisco, and Zoox runs there too, rides currently free. Our tracker calls the Bay Area the densest multi-operator overlap in the country. Every one of those cars needs charging, cleaning, and a stall between rides, the layer DockDuty is building. The primer: what a robotaxi depot actually does, and the dated map of every live robotaxi metro.
And here’s the Bay Area’s particular angle: of Tesla’s seven robotaxi metros, this is the only one still supervised, the six unsupervised markets are elsewhere. Tesla is already carrying passengers here; the safety driver is the last variable. When it comes out, this market moves fast. How big is the fleet behind that? We keep a dated count: how many Tesla robotaxis there are.
One thing Bay Area buyers should know: today’s Tesla robotaxis are Tesla’s own fleet. The Cybercab (the car individual owners will put on the network) has no public order book yet. That’s the window: how to be ready on day one. (California buyer down south instead? There’s a page for Los Angeles too.)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a DockDuty depot in the Bay Area?
Not yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026, and we are planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay. Beyond those, we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens: and the Bay Area, the densest multi-operator overlap in the country, makes its own case loudly. Registering Bay Area interest directly shapes where we build next.
Can I own a Cybercab from the Bay Area before a Bay Area depot exists?
Yes, that’s the point of own-from-anywhere. Your reservation attaches to the DockDuty network, not to one city. Today that means a Priority stall, reservable from any metro we list (same $450 refundable deposit). When DockDuty announces the next depot with capacity for your stall, you have 30 days to tell us in writing whether to onboard there, keep waiting for a depot in your market, or take a refund. If you don’t reply, you’re set to onboard at that depot. In the reservation flow you can elect Bay Area, CA as your preferred market.
How much could a Cybercab make?
Nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history yet (including us) so treat every number anyone quotes as a projection. The earnings calculator shows the full fee math for your assumptions and can email you your exact scenario.
