Tampa turned on with Orlando. The roadmap runs through it next.
Driverless Teslas started carrying paying passengers in Tampa on July 21, 2026 — the same day as Orlando, our depot #1 metro — and Waymo named Tampa among its next markets weeks earlier. Tampa is the third dock on DockDuty’s published cascade. Here’s the honest version of how Tampa buyers get on the ownership side today.
The honest status: no Tampa depot yet
Where DockDuty stands · August 2026
Depot #1 is targeted to open in Greater Orlando in Q4 2026 with 50 founding stalls — and the founding book is converting, including our first single-order 10-stall fleet reservation.
The published cascade: Miami breaks ground when Orlando is ~80% reserved and operating; Tampa follows on the same trigger — and once the Orlando playbook is proven, Miami and Tampa can be in build-out in parallel. The live stall count is on the homepage.
The Tampa list below sizes Tampa demand before we break ground — and gets you exactly one email when the Tampa dock moves from roadmap to real.
Founder spots are open — from Tampa, today
One founding book of 50 stalls, network-wide. Reserve for $450 — fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded — elect Tampa Bay, FL in the flow, and your car earns at depot #1 the day it arrives.
You don't have to wait for a Tampa dock
DockDuty is an own-from-anywhere platform, and the reservation attaches to the network, not to one city:
- Reserve a stall today — $450, fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded, credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee.
- Your car earns at depot #1 in Greater Orlando. We park, charge, clean, and dispatch; you watch it from Tampa on the same dashboard our founding owners use today.
- Elect Tampa, FL as your preferred market right in the reservation flow — when the network reaches your city, your preference is already on file.

Why Tampa matters to a depot company
Tampa is the rare market where the robotaxi era arrived in one day — Tesla switched on unsupervised service on July 21, 2026 — and Waymo publicly named Tampa among its next cities on July 8. Two networks committing means one thing for the ground layer: cars that need charging, cleaning, and stalls, ninety minutes from our depot #1. The primers: what a robotaxi depot actually does and why Florida became robotaxi country.
One thing Tampa buyers should know: today’s Tampa 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. (Gulf-coast buyer further south instead? There’s a page for Fort Myers too.)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a DockDuty depot in Tampa?
Not yet — and we won’t pretend otherwise. Tampa is the third dock on our published roadmap: Miami breaks ground when Orlando (depot #1, targeted for Q4 2026) is ~80% reserved and operating, and Tampa follows on the same trigger — potentially in parallel once the Orlando playbook is proven.
Can I own a Cybercab from Tampa before the Tampa dock exists?
Yes — that’s the point of own-from-anywhere. Your reservation attaches to the DockDuty network, not to one city. Your car earns at depot #1 in Greater Orlando — about 90 minutes up I-4 — while you watch from Tampa, and you can elect Tampa, FL as your preferred market in the reservation flow.
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.
Tampa's already driverless. Own the next wave.
Reserve a network stall for $450 — fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded, credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee. Elect Tampa as your preferred market in the flow.
