Comment on If a Tesla Cybercab fleet were profitable, Tesla wouldn't sell you one

Comments

I may buy one if it works. It would pay for itself in about 3 years. Parking where I am at is about $50 a day. If this thing can drop me off and go make me money it is a no brainer.

Skeptical it will work as advertised, though.

Does the pay off calculation include the frequent interior cleaning any rental car will need to be kept in service 24/7? Both normal wear and tear and spills, vomit, blood, etc that users are motivated by fees to pretend they didn't do until the next user or two after them reports it.

Yes, renting it off is unnecessary.

What if it gets damaged or a drunk customer vomits into it or otherwise soils it?

You can buy the TeslaCare package for just 9.99 a week, or 5000 a year

I don't think that also covers cleaning[1].
