Welcome to Episode 39 of our podcast and the 4th episode of our Robotaxi Countdown series. Exploring the future of autonomous mobility, financing innovation and Tesla’s evolving AI empire.

This episode features a deep-dive conversation with Michiel, a former MisterGreen executive and financial architect behind some of the earliest FSD funding strategies. Together with Kees, Demian, and Florian, we unpack:

🚗 How MisterGreen financed 5,000+ Teslas with FSD before it was cool
📊 The economics behind leasing software like Full Self-Driving
💰 Why Robotaxis flip traditional car depreciation on its head
🏦 The “CyberFund”: a new financial vehicle for a self-driving future
🌍 How cities, investors & communities could co-own autonomous fleets

You’ll hear how FSD pricing evolved, why funding models had to get creative, and how a new class of investors and “shepherds” could reshape the mobility market. This isn’t just about cars — it’s about a new economic layer emerging from autonomy, AI, and exponential manufacturing.
