Tesla’s Cybercab Fleet Pitch: Profit Not Guaranteed

Electrek argues Tesla’s plan to let businesses buy Cybercab fleets to operate on its Robotaxi network is a risk-transfer scheme: past promises of high per-vehicle income never materialized, with investors like MisterGreen losing tens of millions as depreciation outpaced any fake revenue. Tesla keeps the software margins and the network, while buyers assume the capital cost and depreciation, making it a risky upside/limited control arrangement. If the model truly paid, Tesla wouldn’t need to sell the cars; the article suggests skepticism about the fleet-offering and notes other safer bets like solar energy as financially stronger options.
