Every pre-launch deck claims upside. Here’s the part most leave out — the five risks we actually carry, and what we’re doing about each. The full register, with likelihoods and triggers, is in the deck.
Tesla network access
Tesla hasn’t confirmed that third-party-owned Cybercabs can earn on its robotaxi network. That assumption underlies every owner-economics projection on this site.
The depot layer doesn’t depend on one network: we can service operator-run fleets and other AVs (see
operators). Customer downside stays capped — reservation deposits are fully refundable. Florida’s TNC framework (FS §627.748) provides the operating lane.
Cybercab timing
Our launch rides on Tesla’s production schedule, and Tesla ship dates move.
Lease negotiations are structured with phased rent — minimal fixed burn while we wait on cars. The expensive part that’s ours to control (the software platform) is already built and running.
First site unsigned
Orlando Dock 1 is in active site discussions, not yet under lease — which is why no address appears on this site.
The ask is small (~6,000 sq ft, self-funded build-out), which keeps multiple metro-Orlando candidates viable and negotiations fast.
AV insurance market
Commercial AV coverage is young; pricing varies widely and could move owner economics.
We model at the conservative end of the quoted band and say so in public copy. Cars in our care will be covered by a garage-keeper policy bound before intake; the owner’s operating policy is separate by design.
Competition
Cybercab-depot positioning is attracting entrants, and louder claims than ours exist.
Our bar: demo it live, not in a deck. Working dashboard, live payments, real Tesla telemetry, and physical operations under negotiation — the moat is operational, not a domain name.
