Cybercab fleet management, without hiring a fleet team.
Owning a robotaxi is not passive. Somebody charges it, cleans it, stages it, and picks up the phone when it gets stuck. DockDuty is built to be that somebody — while you keep the title, the control, and a month-to-month exit. This page is what the service covers, what it does not, and what is actually running today.
What fleet management actually involves
Strip away the term and it is six recurring jobs, all of which used to belong to a driver:
- Energy. Keeping the battery topped up between shifts, at the right times, without the car sitting idle at a public charger during peak demand.
- Readiness. Resetting the interior so the next rider does not find the last rider’s mess — the single most common reason a robotaxi gets pulled off the road.
- Inspection. Checking for damage and lost property, and documenting it before it becomes a dispute.
- Staging. Putting the car where demand is about to be, rather than where it happened to finish its last trip.
- Maintenance. Getting it to service and back, on schedule, without the owner flying in.
- Incidents. Answering the phone at 2am when something goes wrong, because something eventually will.
On top of those sits the paperwork nobody advertises: insurance currency, registration, statements, and the records you will want at tax time.
What DockDuty handles
Everything on that list that happens at or around the depot:
- Charging on site between shifts. Electricity is included in the monthly retainer — no separate energy bill and no markup on energy, written into the agreement rather than promised in marketing.
- Cleaning and readiness between rides, plus the damage and lost-property check.
- An assigned stall in a fenced lot, so the car is not circling or parked on a street.
- Staging toward demand.
- Dispatch coordination. Worth being precise about: the ride network dispatches the car. DockDuty makes sure it is charged, clean and available when that happens.
- 24-hour incident response.
- Maintenance coordination with the service centre.
- Insurance-document tracking — we watch your policy’s expiry dates and warn you before they lapse. Note what that is: we track your policy. We do not provide it.
- Reporting — trips, charging sessions, statements, all in one place.
What stays yours
A fleet-management service is a service, not a transfer. The split is written into the agreement:
- The title. Always. Section 4.3: the owner retains title to their vehicles at all times, and nothing in the agreement or any service agreement transfers any ownership interest in any vehicle to DockDuty.
- The purchase. DockDuty does not sell vehicles, allocate them, or promise you one. Purchase price, taxes, registration and financing are yours.
- The vehicle insurance. Commercial autonomous-vehicle insurance on the car is the owner’s responsibility, through the owner’s own broker. DockDuty’s own facility coverage — garage-keeper, TNC contingent and general business liability — is intended to be bound before the depot takes in any vehicle. It is not bound today, because there is no depot yet.
- The enrollment decision. Whether the car is on a ride network at all is your call.
- The exit. Month-to-month, no minimum term, no early-termination penalty.
The dashboard, and why it exists
DockDuty ships an owner dashboard: a live map, trip history with routes, charging sessions, earnings statements, a document glovebox and remote vehicle commands. It is public and needs no login — go and click around before you believe anything on this page.
The reason it is good is unglamorous: we need it to run the floor. A depot with no visibility into which car is charged, which is dirty and which is stuck is a parking lot. The owner gets to look at the same data the operations team does, from anywhere, at any hour — which matters when the owner lives in another state, or another country, and the car does not.
How this differs from fleet-management software
Fleet-management software schedules work and reports on it. It owns no land, no chargers and no staff, so somebody still has to physically plug the car in and clean it. A depot company does that part. DockDuty is a depot company that also ships the software.
If you only need the software layer, you do not need a depot. If you need the car physically handled, software alone will not do it. The honest four-way comparison — do it yourself, flat-fee operator, SPV/equity structure, or revenue-share depot — is here: robotaxi fleet management, four models compared. That post is the neutral version; this page is ours. And if what you want is the depot side rather than the ongoing service, that is what a robotaxi depot company does.
What is live today, and what is not
Where DockDuty stands · September 2026
Live: the owner dashboard, running the real product; real vehicle telemetry from connected owner vehicles, in production; the reservation system and live payment processing; the public order book; the full owner agreement, rendered and signable before payment; the earnings calculator.
Not live: the depot. Depot #1 is targeted for Orlando in Q4 2026 — no lease executed, no site built. DockDuty is not managing any customer vehicle today, and no customer Cybercab is earning. Nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history, including us. Customer-owned vehicles cannot join Tesla’s Robotaxi network today, and that program’s eligibility, economics and timing have not been published by Tesla.
What it costs
A monthly retainer per stall plus a percentage of ride revenue, both dropping as fleet size grows. Current published rates are on the rate card, generated from the same source the checkout uses so the two cannot drift apart.
Reserving costs a $450 refundable deposit per stall, credited in full against the one-time $1,000 onboarding fee, leaving a $550 balance at intake inspection. The agreement caps both — onboarding never above $1,000 per vehicle, intake balance never above $550 — and states that other than those, the retainer and the ride percentage, no mandatory fees apply. Your ride percentage cannot be raised while a vehicle is enrolled; the retainer moves only by CPI-U, once a year, on sixty days’ notice, never before your first anniversary.
What none of that tells you is what a Cybercab will earn. Nobody knows — there is no fleet-scale earnings history anywhere, including ours. The calculator shows the full fee math against your own assumptions and labels every output a projection, because that is what it is.
Frequently asked questions
What does Cybercab fleet management actually involve?
Six recurring jobs, all of which used to belong to a driver. Keeping the battery topped up between shifts. Resetting the interior so the next rider does not find the last rider’s mess. Checking for damage and lost property. Putting the car where demand is about to be rather than where it happened to finish. Getting it to service and back. And answering the phone when something goes wrong at 2am. On top of that sits the paperwork: insurance currency, registration, statements and tax records.
What does DockDuty handle, and what stays my responsibility?
DockDuty handles the depot work: parking, charging, cleaning and readiness, staging, dispatch coordination, incident response, maintenance coordination and reporting. The owner buys the vehicle, holds the title, carries the commercial autonomous-vehicle insurance on it through their own broker, and decides whether the vehicle is enrolled at all. DockDuty does not sell vehicles, allocate them, or take any ownership interest in one.
Do I lose control of my car?
No. The owner retains title at all times and nothing in the agreement transfers any ownership interest to DockDuty. Service is month-to-month with no minimum term and no early-termination penalty, so an owner can withdraw a vehicle and stop. The owner also controls enrollment: whether the vehicle is on the network at all is the owner’s decision, not DockDuty’s.
How is this different from fleet-management software?
Fleet-management software schedules work and reports on it. It does not own land, chargers or staff, so somebody still has to physically plug the car in and clean it. DockDuty is a depot company that also ships the software: the dashboard exists because DockDuty needs it to run the floor, and the owner gets to look at the same data. If you only need the software layer, you do not need a depot; if you need the car physically handled, software alone will not do it.
Is DockDuty managing Cybercabs today?
No. No depot is operating, no customer vehicle is being managed by DockDuty, and no customer Cybercab is earning. Depot #1 is targeted for Orlando, Florida in Q4 2026 and no lease has been executed. The software platform, the reservation system, the published agreement and live payment processing are the parts that exist today. Customer-owned vehicles also cannot join Tesla’s Robotaxi network today; that program’s terms have not been published.
What does it cost to have DockDuty run my Cybercab?
A monthly retainer per stall plus a percentage of ride revenue, both of which drop as fleet size grows. Reserving costs a US $450 refundable deposit per stall, credited in full against a one-time US $1,000 onboarding fee with a $550 balance at intake. The agreement caps the onboarding fee at $1,000 per vehicle and the intake balance at $550, and states that no other mandatory fees apply. Charging electricity is included in the retainer with no markup on energy.
Is DockDuty affiliated with Tesla?
No. DockDuty is an independent company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partnered with Tesla, Inc. “Tesla” and “Cybercab” are trademarks of Tesla, Inc., used for descriptive reference only. DockDuty holds no Tesla vehicle allocation, no enrollment right and no commercial agreement of any kind with Tesla, and claims none.
