Rideshare Drivers United

Tesla Robotaxi in Austin - New Pricing It looks like Tesla's new pricing model in Austin is a base fare of about $0.75 and a per mile cost of about $1.50 - $1.60 --> bringing the average cost per mile traveled to about $1.95. If so - and once their they scale up the number of vehicles in the fleet - all other rideshare providers are history (see post below for Uber's Austin pricing). This chart shows how many rides and miles per day at various utilization rates (30% utilization is 7.2 hours per day of operation per vehicle and 50% is 12 hours per day). At just 30% utilization, and with the new pricing structure, Tesla could generate revenue of about $71,500 per vehicle per year. At 50% utilization, and with the new pricing structure, Tesla could earn about $119,000 per vehicle per year. And based on my Robotaxi model, Tesla could earn between $30,000 to $50,000 in net profit per vehicle per year (Model Y) once the safety monitor is removed. Now, do you see why Tesla won't care to sell cars to consumers in the not so distant future?! Thanks @theoptionsflow for alerting me. And thanks to @Tslachan for the data!
