Will be interesting to see if they allow geofencing your own personal fleet to serve only certain areas

Wish these came out 10 years ago. Mom turns 96 this Saturday. At this point, she not only needs a driver, she also needs help getting into stores, etc.

But it would have been wonderful to give her this independence back when she was still pretty independent, but really didn't need to be driving.

Wonder if it is remotely possible to buy one and make any money by selling rides.

People will also buy them as a personal vehicle and turn them lose once they are at work to generate revenue and offset the cost of owning a vehicle.

I'm guessing you could help offset the cost, but it wouldn't make economic sense to buy one purely for leasing.

Some Tesla owners may decide not to buy a cyber cab and instead allow their Tesla run around as a cyber cab when not using it themselves. Not sure If I can understand why. Sure don't want anyone running around on their own in mine.

I recently saw a news story of an elderly lady that bought a Morel 3 with FSD so she can go to church again without help.

Can someone hire their own car to cybercab them home from happy hour?

Lots of folks bought additional cars (including Teslas) just to put them on Turo, so I can see people like that treating them as an investment.

It is a service vehicle designed for aerodynamic efficiency and low production costs. Making it look "pretty" is far down the list

The terms of service and market demand, plus pricing will be fascinating to see.

As with all businesses it's tough to speculate without the actual financials for what Tesla will charge for insurance, split on fairs, costs to access/clean to required standards, average trip fees (and fees per mile/minute), warranty, repair costs/timelines, if TSLA caps warranty/repair to a period of years/miles, battery replacement costs, whether one can geofence what areas your own cybercab services, and probably a host of other crap I can't come up with in 30 seconds off the top of my head (plus if there is a movement to vandalize them). Uber also has the benefit of a substantial data-base of rated passengers, TSLA does not.

I again hope these things work out and work well though.

Guessing <3 months to launch. Outside chance within the next month, but probably pushed to late September so they have them operational for the entirety of Q4. Pattern has been major release of new FSD versions in November/December timeframe and they will probably have a model they feel good enough about to deploy in several hundred vehicles across the country by late September/October timeframe.
