Tesla Cybercab math points to $3.75 billion a year from one line, and $30 billion at scale

The post argues that Tesla could turn Cybercab into a massive profit engine by scaling production.
- It claims Tesla has industrial capacity for 125,000 Cybercabs per year.
- Using a $30,000 net margin per vehicle per year, the post estimates $3.75 billion in annual net profit from one factory line.
- It then extrapolates to a 1 million vehicle fleet, suggesting $30 billion+ in yearly net profit from robotaxis alone.
- The broader point is that such cash flow could fund more AI and robotics acceleration while keeping margins high.
