Renting a Tesla instead of taking the bus

- Supercharging rant about how awesome it was to rent a Tesla on Turo and FSD to Grammy's house instead of taking the bus there. And it was only $240! ($290 including post trip supercharging reimbursement) vs ~$220 for the bus. And it took less time because the bus stops (and I didn't have to subway to the bus station). Shoutout Turo! On the drive while listening to BG2 podcast I had so many schemes about the Tesla ridesharing app combined with the Cybercab launch and how stoked I am.

Great to have you back on Tesla Gali! Big Turo user and fan here 😊
Great video, Gali. Love your enthusiastic energy.
Tesla needs to add more Supercharger locations in lower population areas. I still get range anxiety when I want to go camping in remote areas in Arkansas. If they could just put a 1 or 2 70kW stalls at all the Walmarts in rural areas I'd be good. But I agree with Elon that they can probably slow down on new locations on the coasts & cities, and just improve and expand the existing locations.
I am glad the supercharging manager is fired, I don’t think she has been doing a good jobs because on my road trip to Washington States which I do several times a year, I saw many Supercharging locations on the way and there is a newer one which has 51 stalls but hardly any users for the past year but once I arrived Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland, I saw so many Tesla but can’t find hardly any supercharging stations, the one in Bellevue is inside of a pay garage, one in Totem Lake only has 12 stalls and always has a waiting line. Many people in that area live in apartments and they need to use supercharge. I think that department needs new leadership and organization.
actually smaller battery generally charge slower, but if we think in real world numbers it is miles per minute what counts
When it's rubber taxis and you want to take a long road trip tes la AI could literally have another robo taxi sitting at the supercharger waiting for you and give you the option of waiting for your car to charge or just transferring to the new car fully charged ready for you when you pull in eliminating supercharging time you just have to transfer to another vehicle
Also that would help keep cars in their jurisdictions, States, etc. Or give Tesla the ability to move cars around at no cost to them from state to state like LeapFrog over a month or two you could transfer Tesla's robotaxis from state to state city to city while people pay for it LOL
Great experiment bro👍
Tesla should buy Hertz I think they can use Hertz location and expertise to start ride sharing and robotaxi. Tesla and add charges at hertz plus they can use hertz employees to clean and do maintenance on cars. Hertz have a market cap of 1.5 billion I think it’s a great deal.
Tooany gas cars imo
Why doesn't Tesla buy Aptera and use them as Robotaxi's.
They will just need to integrate the wireless chargers into it, job done. Aptera's are two seaters with solar panels that go lije stink, cheap to own and operate due to small battery and long range.
They do look cool and have low maintenance interiors. They will need to redesign the interor but not that much by using stear-by-wire the stearing wheel can be pluged in or out. Thus Tesla can have the same car go into two modes. First mode is when the car is human operated and second mode is fully autonomous.
Much love to Grammy!!❤
Tesla doesn’t need their own Supercharger team if they just provide other parties with Supercharging-as-a-Service. No worries about maintaining a location, just the actual charging.
Nice vid
They haven't said any product will go live on 8/8 right? Just a product announcement with an unknown launch date.
Yes. Cybertruk was revealed in Nov 2019. That is what we might be looking at in terms of time to market.
The only thing that was said to date is that Aug 8 is the unveiling of the Cybercab, everything else is speculation, so for all we know it could be on the road by the end of August or as in the unveiling of the Cybertruck take 4 years to hit the road.
Why don't you buy call options?
Is it common to find Turo Teslas with FSD on? Or yours was just AP? Kudos for sharing!
Gali, serious question… what brand of glasses are those?
@ 10 : 48 ✌️Right back at cha
Big batteries can accept energy faster than small batteries. I want a model Y long-range battery in a model 3 single-motor car.
so paying more ends up being more convinient, cool
😂
A bus is FSD, you can sit back and relax.
💯
"disrupting the bus"
👍
Induction charging would help because then the passenger would never have to get out and charge in the rain

Smaller battery isn’t charged faster…
Each 4680 cell has a rate you can charge it safely. And if you have 1000 cells, you can put 2x more power into that car, than a car with 500 cells could safely handle. Semi and cyber cab will have basically the same charge time provided that you use the optimal charger.
Be a dad SH if it dont

My guess is we'll see:
CyberCab= $25k, 2 seater, pod style robotaxi
CyberBus=50k+ 8-10 bus robotaxi
M3/Y based Hatchback = 30k, non robotaxi
Hopefully:
MX based full size 7 seater SUV/Van, no falcon doors, under 65k; and/or Cybertruck based off-road, 7 seater SUV/Van to compete with Jeep's and Rivian R1S 🙏
What's the point of giving out a price for the cybercab robotaxi? - assuming it will not be for sale.
Everybody is waiting for the $25k affordable car (preferably 4-seater hatchback). If it's not a 4-seater, it will bomb. If it's $30k it will bomb. A 2-seater is a niche vehicle (but may be viable as robotaxi).
Bus/van = these are low volume vehicles popular in poor countries. I have a feeling they will not be popular in the US.
@Martinit0 Why would you assume the robotaxi won't be for sale?
CT rwd was supposed to be 40k, and it's 60k now.. Elon said the new models won't be 100% unbox platform = less savings to Tesla and higher ASP and the EV credit will be the equalizer for now...
USA loves big cars. Yes, the large SUV/Van market is small compared to the 3+Y but they are just trying to get to 3 million cars with those offering, and even Tesla could use them internally for mobile techs... IMO the robotaxi will take Tesla to 10 million plus when at full global scale... I doubt 20 million is possible, especially if you are correct and robotaxi are NOT for sale. The off road CT based SUV is all I care about. I don't really need a truck bed but would like something bigger than the MY. Jeep has that market on lock but Tesla should be able to compete. 🤷♂️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
Bro, Elon can jumpstart Tesla Robo Taxi right now w/ little regulatory overhead… Rider can summon a cab via App and supervised their own drive. Think of Robo Taxi, Turo Style. Thoughts on this, Gali?
It would be viable. That is basically a car-sharing model with the advantage that you don't have to pick up and return the car. Would definitely use this if available and not expensive.
Why use Turo? Every time I look, their prices are much higher than the big auto rental companies.
Gali where were you? Used to listen to you in 2018 and 2019. Feels like you fell off the top of the earth and somehow missed out on these last few years
Gali rocks
109%
Keep em coming😊
Charging speed does not matter when using robotaxi.
The old Doc could sleep in the buggy on the way home after a late night birthing. The horse new the way home. FSD. Is the new smarter horse.
I’m 79 years old FSD will add at least two years to my driving life
More.
Don’t you own a car?
He owned a Y a few years back after selling Tesla stock.
In Seattle
Did you find a supercharger to charge it with ? Worst decision ever made by Musk in getting rid of the supercharger team. There still is plenty of chargers that are needed globally. Semi Truck charging network doesn’t exist. I am really torn about selling all my Tesla shares this week.
How hard would it be for Chinese companies to steal tesla's autopilot tech after Tesla solves autonomy? 🤔
I haven't heard anyone talk about this, seems like a big concern
Several Chinese companies already have similar technologies operating in China. This is from 2 years ago: th-cam.com/video/zUSEh4lVqGY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tc_G1WRHgjXQJAKs
you dont own a tesla? what???
i do but was traveling in a different part of the country
The bigger risk is Tesla stock never goes up on earnings, only stories and daydreams. Biggest earnings over the past four years yet stock is down overall.
LOLOLOL I can't tell if this is satire or not
spent $240 instead of $100 but it is cheaper lol. This is what happens when people have money to waste, they lose touch with regular people
$100 one way. So $200 vs $290 (including final supercharging extras). If i charged less could've been $275. So overall $200 vs $275, a little more expensive in the Tesla, but about 2 hours overall faster (1 hour each way), and way more comfortable/fun.
$240 vs $200 he said.
lol don’t you feel dumb
And just wait until robotaxi. It should be significantly cheaper
@@EricYocom supercharging was supposed to be 100 folds cheaper than gas too lol. What's the price to charge from 1%-100% now? Yea about the same it cost to fill up at the gas station. I own Tesla stock btw, but I don't drink the Koolaid
Bus has also "autopilot". Not in beta mode
Bro. Big guy just gutted the whole intern program... I feel like we should be talking about these "cost cutting" measures...
It's increasingly seeming like he's trying to structure Tesla to serve his own needs, not humanity.
You are wrong, anytime a company gets too bloated and people in there get too comfortable, they need to be taking out of their comfort zone, only then the rest will wake up. This is a difficult task and I am glad Elon can do it.
@@shunfangin7645 you don't kill entire departments that are critical to your mission (superchargers) without warning. and you don't renege on promises you made to hundreds of students (internship program). Forget business, this is basic morality.
Are you here to accelerate transition to sustainable energy, or are you here to suck Elon's tit?
Yo
sup
Seniors are a great market for Tesla's with FSD. They can keep their independence longer.
Steering people away from public transportation and to clog our roads with even more cars with only a single occupant is irresponsible
You are not getting the point. The point is that all public transportation in the future can have FSD and there will be minimal incidents and high efficiency in the transportation system.
@@xiaocong89 buses with fsd and autonomous trains/trams would be perfect
fair point
@@michelbruns why would trains need to be autonomous? They’re literally on a track. Lol
@@bradycrosby1705 and are still operated by humans.
For the schemes 🤣
Who they calling cyberkarens! How dare they!🤣
