DockDuty is building Orlando’s first Cybercab depot. Here is the honest state of it.
Driverless Teslas have carried paying passengers in Orlando since July 21, 2026 (Tesla’s own cars, not privately owned ones). Orlando is DockDuty’s lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026. We’re planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay, with no site, lease or date yet. The other metros on the reservation page collect owner reservations as demand. No further location is committed. The depot is not open. This page tells you what exists today, what does not, what a stall costs, and exactly when your deposit comes back, before you give us a dollar.
Is there a robotaxi depot in Orlando?
Not one that private owners can use yet. Tesla and Waymo each run their own ride-hailing service in Orlando, and no privately owned car can join either one today. DockDuty is planning an Orlando depot for privately owned Cybercabs, targeted for Q4 2026. No depot lease is executed and no client vehicle is parked, charged or earning. Reservations are open, and deposits are refundable until onboarding.

What is live today, and what is not
Where DockDuty stands · September 2026
Live today, and you can check every one of these yourself:
- The owner dashboard, the real product, running on sample fleet data. No login, no card.
- Real vehicle telemetry from connected owner vehicles, streaming into that dashboard in production.
- The reservation system and live payment processing.
- The public order book, served by the same API that enforces the cap at checkout. So the number is auditable, not marketing.
- The full owner agreement, rendered and signable before you pay, not after.
- The earnings calculator and the US Robotaxi Map, free to use and free to cite.
Not live, and we will not pretend otherwise:
- The Orlando depot itself. It is targeted for Q4 2026. No depot lease has been executed. No site is built.
- Any customer vehicle at a DockDuty depot. Nothing is parked, charged, cleaned or dispatched by us today.
- Any customer earnings. No client Cybercab has completed a paid ride on any network through DockDuty, and nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history, including us.
- Tesla’s owner program. Customer-owned vehicles cannot join Robotaxi today. Eligibility, onboarding, economics, insurance and timing have not been published by Tesla.
The founding class of 50 stalls closed on September 5, 2026. What sells now is the Priority round.

Where Orlando stands in the DockDuty Network
- Status
- Lead market. Its depot is targeted for Q4 2026; the site is not secured yet.
- Stall reservations naming Orlando
- 151 reserved (as of live count).
- 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
- The site is not secured yet. No lease has been signed and nothing is under construction. Our Orlando depot is targeted for Q4 2026.
- What would bring DockDuty to Orlando
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.
- Orlando’s depot is targeted for Q4 2026, and the site is not secured yet.
- Driverless Teslas have carried paying passengers in Orlando since July 21, 2026, so the service test is already met.
- What is still open: a signed lease and a built site. Neither exists today.
- What an Orlando 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 Orlando?
Stall reservations naming Orlando: 151 (as of live count).
DockDuty publishes the current count of stall reservations naming Orlando 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 Orlando?
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 Orlando?
Yes. Use the site form on the DockDuty Network page and name Orlando. An Orlando 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 in Orlando
$450 per stall, fully refundable until your vehicle is onboarded, credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee. Orlando is our lead market, and reserving here puts you in it, not on a waiting list for one.

What a robotaxi depot actually does
A robotaxi depot is the physical operating base for a fleet of self-driving cars. A car with no driver still has all of a driver’s chores and nobody to do them. Between rides it needs somewhere to wait that is not a public curb, a charger, a clean interior, a look-over for damage and lost property, and someone to call when something goes wrong at 2am. The purpose-built version of that, and what changes when the vehicle is a Cybercab rather than a retrofitted car, is on our Cybercab depot page, including where the Orlando build actually stands.
At the Orlando depot, DockDuty is being built to handle:
- Parking: an assigned, fenced stall, so the car is not circling or sitting on a street.
- Charging: on site, between shifts. Charging electricity is included in the monthly retainer, with no separate bill and no markup on energy. That is a term of the agreement, not a promotion.
- Cleaning and readiness: interior reset between rides, so the next rider does not find the last rider’s coffee cup.
- Staging: positioning the car where demand is about to be, rather than where it happened to finish.
- Dispatch coordination: the ride network dispatches the car; we make sure it is charged, clean and available when it does.
- Incident response: 24-hour cover for the things that do not respect business hours.
- Maintenance coordination: getting the car to service and back without the owner flying in.
- Owner visibility: a dashboard the owner can open at any hour from anywhere.
The longer primer is here: what a robotaxi depot actually does, and what makes a Cybercab depot different from a general robotaxi depot.
What the owner keeps, and what stays the owner’s job
A depot is a service, not a transfer. The split is written into the agreement rather than left to trust:
- You keep 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.
- You buy the car. DockDuty does not sell vehicles, allocate them, or promise you one. The purchase price, taxes, registration, financing and any Tesla freight or delivery charges are yours.
- You carry the vehicle insurance. Commercial autonomous-vehicle insurance on the vehicle is the owner’s responsibility, through the owner’s own broker. DockDuty’s own facility coverage (garage-keeper 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.
- You decide when to leave. Month-to-month, no minimum term, no early-termination penalty.
What is refundable
The full US $450 per-stall deposit. 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. DockDuty initiates the refund to the original payment method within five business days, with a wire or check fallback if that method has closed.
Two more protections that are in the paper and worth knowing before you pay. Deposits are held at Axos Bank in a separate savings account, kept apart from our operating balance. Owners can request a written confirmation letter. (§2.3) And if DockDuty is acquired or changes control, the owner may elect a full refund of outstanding deposits within thirty days of notice (§8.4). You are not sold along with the company.

How the Orlando rollout works
Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026 and the site not secured yet. There is no cap on fleet size; there are 50 Priority accounts this round, one spot per person or company.
None of that is a promise about a date. The agreement makes no commitment that a depot will open in any particular market or on any timeline, and says so in its own text. The owner’s protection is the refund right, and it is deliberately easier to use than anything else in the document.
The Orlando depot is planned as part of the DockDuty Network, where every depot is meant to run to one standard on one owner platform. See every market’s status and the owner demand behind it.
What happens if the Cybercab owner program never launches
You take your deposit back. That is the whole answer, and it is worth saying plainly because it is the question everyone is actually asking.
Nothing DockDuty builds can make Tesla sell Cybercabs to third parties or publish owner-participation terms, and neither has happened. Tesla is simultaneously the supplier, the network and a potential competitor here. We disclose that dependency inside the contract itself, not only on the website. The agreement also sets an Outside Date of December 31, 2028: if your first vehicle has not been onboarded by then for reasons other than your own delay, you choose either a full refund or successive twelve-month extensions, your choice, not ours. DockDuty cannot use the Outside Date to cancel your position while you elect to extend.
Why Orlando
Florida’s autonomous-vehicle statutes place no ownership restriction on who may own a self-driving vehicle, and Fla. Stat. § 316.85 makes the automated driving system itself the operator. Driverless Teslas have carried paying passengers in Orlando since July 21, 2026, so the demand side of this market is demonstrated rather than assumed. Orlando also has what a depot physically needs: land at a price that works, power that can be scheduled, and tourism-driven ride density that keeps cars working across the whole day rather than two rush hours.
The plain-English version is here: why Florida became robotaxi country. For riders rather than owners, the local guide is Tesla robotaxi in Orlando, where it runs and what it costs. For hotels, the airport and venues, the shuttle guides cover robotaxi airport transfers at MCO, robotaxi shuttles for hotel guests and robotaxi event shuttles at the convention center.

Frequently asked questions
Who operates a robotaxi depot for private owners in Orlando?
DockDuty (the brand operated by DOCK DUTY LLC, a Florida limited liability company) is planning one, and Orlando is its lead market. Important qualifier: the depot is not open. It is targeted for Q4 2026, no site lease has been executed, and no client vehicle is parked, charged or earning at a DockDuty depot today. What is live today is the reservation system, the published owner agreement, the payment processing and the owner dashboard. DockDuty is independent. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partnered with Tesla, Inc.; “Tesla” and “Cybercab” are trademarks of Tesla, Inc., used here for descriptive reference only.
Is the DockDuty Orlando depot open?
No. Our Orlando depot is targeted to open in Q4 2026. As of today no depot lease has been executed and no site is built. The reservation agreement states this in its own recitals rather than burying it, and the reservation deposit is fully refundable at will until a vehicle is onboarded precisely because the opening is not guaranteed.
What does a robotaxi depot actually do?
It is the physical operating base for a fleet of self-driving cars. Between rides a robotaxi needs somewhere to park that is not a public curb, a charger, a clean interior, a look-over for damage and lost property, and someone to call when something goes wrong at 2am. A depot does that work: assigned parking, charging, cleaning and readiness, staging, dispatch coordination, incident response, maintenance coordination, and reporting back to the vehicle’s owner.
What is refundable if I reserve an Orlando stall?
The full US $450 per-stall deposit. 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. DockDuty initiates the refund to the original payment method within five business days, with a wire or check fallback if that method has closed.
What happens if the Cybercab owner program never launches?
The owner takes the deposit back. Nothing in DockDuty’s product can make Tesla sell Cybercabs to third parties or publish owner-participation terms, and neither has happened. That dependency is disclosed inside the contract itself, not just on the website. The agreement also sets an Outside Date of December 31, 2028: if the owner’s first vehicle has not been onboarded by then for reasons other than the owner’s own delay, the owner chooses either a full refund or successive twelve-month extensions, the owner’s choice, not DockDuty’s.
Does DockDuty take ownership of my vehicle?
No. The owner retains title to their vehicles at all times, and section 4.3 states that nothing in the agreement or any service agreement transfers any ownership interest in any vehicle to DockDuty. Service is month-to-month with no minimum term and no early-termination penalty.
Is DockDuty affiliated with Tesla?
No. DockDuty is an independent company. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or partnered with Tesla, Inc.; “Tesla” and “Cybercab” are trademarks of Tesla, Inc., used here 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.
Why is DockDuty starting in Orlando?
Florida’s autonomous-vehicle statutes place no ownership restriction on who may own a self-driving vehicle, and Fla. Stat. § 316.85 makes the automated driving system itself the operator. Driverless Teslas in Tesla’s own fleet have carried paying passengers in Orlando since July 21, 2026, so the demand side is demonstrated rather than assumed. Orlando also has the land, the power and the tourism-driven ride density a depot needs. It is DockDuty’s lead market. We’re planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay. The other metros on the reservation page collect owner reservations as demand. No further location is committed.
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. Projections, not guarantees.
