The complete bottom-up unit economics behind Tango Cab's 10-vehicle launch fleet (Tango-Fleet base case): every cost itemized, every operational assumption stated, and an interactive sensitivity model so you can stress-test each variable. Steady-state payback runs 8.6 months; adding a three-month utilization ramp lands at ~9.5.
The Tango-Fleet pool is acquired outright with zero vehicle debt, ensuring post-launch operating cash flow is 100% unencumbered. Vehicle acquisition reflects Tesla's volume-production Cybercab pricing target ($30,000); charging leverages owned and partner depot hubs.

Gross revenue is paid passenger miles × rider rate, net of the platform network split. Orange County offers dense short-hop routes paired with premium airport loops (SNA) and tourist hospitality traffic.
16 hours of daily automated vehicle utilization, with wireless inductive top-ups scheduled between ride blocks.
Priced significantly below legacy human rideshare (UberX with tip) while sustaining superior margin per vehicle mile.
Autonomous dispatch and mapping network fee. The calculator below allows testing sensitivity up to 35%.
Every monthly cost required to operate one Cybercab in active commercial service: insurance, robotic detailing, depot energy, maintenance, and telematics software. Zero human driver labor on the ledger.
