$JOBY Just Put Its Unit Economics on the Table
$Joby Aviation, Inc.(JOBY)$ is making the eVTOL story a little easier to actually model.
A new unit economics tool lets you play with the numbers yourself — how many rides per day does an eVTOL need, what price per ride makes the business profitable, and how quickly can the aircraft pay for itself?
That last part is especially important.
The site now has two models:
✈️ eVTOL Economics
Test ride volume, pricing, profitability and payback period.
🚗 Autonomous Vehicle Economics
Look at the potential ROI of an autonomous vehicle.
The idea is simple: instead of just talking about the future of air taxis and autonomy, put the assumptions into a model and see what actually has to happen for the economics to work.
And payback period may be one of the most important numbers to watch. Joby has previously highlighted aircraft-level payback as a key part of its service economics.
I’m curious what assumptions you would add to the model.
Utilization? Maintenance? Financing? Infrastructure costs?
The more realistic the assumptions, the more interesting the $JOBY economics become. 👀
