OUR CYBERCAB-INSPIRED VISION
Autonomy.
In motion.
Building an independent fleet venture for the robotaxi era. The vision is autonomous. The work starts with us.
A new way to move.
A new way to build.
Autonomous rides need a strong operation behind them.
Tesla Club is a planned electric vehicle fleet venture inspired by the possibilities of Tesla’s Cybercab. Our ambition is to develop the charging, vehicle care and coordination behind a future robotaxi fleet.
We’re building from Philadelphia and exploring a pilot with a separate Austin operator. Vehicle access, provider agreements, insurance and operating approvals must be established before services can launch.
Tesla Club is currently Daniel Payne’s unregistered, pre-launch venture. Three partners may join later under a proposed equal-ownership structure; no LLC has been formed.

Building from a clear starting point.
Behind every
autonomous mile.
A robotaxi vision still needs everyday care. Our planned model brings energy, clean cabins, vehicle readiness and local operating partners into one considered plan.
These capabilities are in development. Service availability and partner arrangements have not yet been established.
01Charge with a plan.
Plan charging around vehicle schedules, site access and actual energy needs. We’re assessing equipment, charging locations and the support a pilot fleet would require.
02Care for every detail.
Develop repeatable routines for interior cleaning, exterior care and vehicle-readiness checks, so the everyday condition of each vehicle receives consistent attention.
03Keep things moving.
Build a clear process for tracking vehicle needs, arranging qualified maintenance and understanding downtime before it affects the operating plan.
04Connect the operation.
Define who manages vehicles, schedules, operating costs and insurance. Our Austin exploration centers on a separate operator, with Tesla Club managed from Philadelphia.
A considered path
to the first mile.
We’re building the plan before building the fleet. Every next step depends on real costs, clear agreements and the approvals required to operate.
- 01CURRENT FOCUS
Build the foundation.
Plan the Pennsylvania company and future partner admissions, research demand and develop a realistic startup budget.

THE NEXT CHAPTER IS A CONVERSATION.
Let’s build
what’s next.
Fleet operators. Charging providers. Local service businesses. If you see a way to move this vision forward, we’d like to hear from you.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Clear from
the start.
Can I book a ride or vehicle today?
Not yet. Tesla Club is in the planning stage. We’re developing the business structure, funding plan and partner arrangements needed before any service launches.
Is Tesla Club affiliated with Tesla?
No. Tesla Club is an independent venture. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Tesla, Inc., and no partnership with Tesla has been confirmed.
Where is the business based?
The proposed business is managed from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We’re exploring an Austin operating arrangement with a separate company and see Philadelphia as a potential later fleet market.
Will Tesla Club operate Cybercabs?
Cybercab and autonomous ride services are part of our intended direction. We do not yet have confirmed Cybercab access, a Tesla partnership or operating approvals. Any future service depends on suitable vehicles, provider agreements, insurance and regulatory permissions. Tesla Club does not currently offer autonomous rides.
