Its go time for those interested. I would like to buy 1-2 to see where things go but have no idea how long it will take to pay them off or what is needed.

3-5 for me. Also want to start a fleet service center....charging, cleaning, light maintenance. But I've heard Supercharging is way expensive to set up.

I responded at 8 a.m. this morning. YESSSS! Any bets on whether I get the Cybercab before my CT59?

My Tesla Universal Charge in my garage was just installed. The charger itself was up a $100 to $570. Today it is $600. Installation and materials was another $1200. I am 23 miles North/East of Dallas.

I’d love to have a few running around, but I doubt they’ll be able to handle the snow and ice any time soon.

Yes, I have 2 at home. I'm talking about fast DC Super Charging for a fleet service center. If your car needs charging, cleaning or light maintenance, where do you send it? Send it to my Tesla AA Center! We'll clean up the puke, charge it, do tire pressure, rotate tires and/or add windshield washer fluid. Then get you back in service ASAP.

I think the bill for vandalism/puke goes right to the customer (part of the disclaimer when you sign up).....

Have you seen @CernBasher and his projections on Cybercab as a business on Brighter with Herbert?

I can't get my picture of his projections to upload.

The cars can always change, but the current Cybercabs that were just shown in Austin cannot wirelessly charge or charge at Level 2 speeds because there is no On-Board Charger. They currently have to be DC Fast charged at a commercial site. Bummer for residential folks that want to have a few in their small fleet...

How do we know they cannot wirelessly charge? Is that what people saw in the models that were taken apart?

This is all current state at the moment, and could change. But it's DC charging 100% right now...

Two unknowns with buying and owning a Cybercab as an individual consumer that I see right now.

1) If it's DC only charging who will plug it in when it autonomously goes to the Supercharger to recharge?

2) Home charging is only possible via wirelessly charging and the current Cybercabs don't appear to have the hardware underneath to do that. Wireless charging was briefly talked about at the event last week but nothing firm.
