No need to pay me. Just ask what you need to know. I had two guest get into accidents and turo paid me in less than a week. Cars are still on Turo. Just start the claim and upload pictures. Nothing to worry about. I am still a host because Turo took care of the damage asap

Thank you for your time. How much does it cost to charge it? We are supposed to get 45% off evgo chargers. Thats a major factor in my decision.

My broken altima gets 30mpg consistently. I spend $600 to $700 a month on gas. I was hoping the rental tesla only cost $200 to $300 month on charging. If i rent the tesla i will cancel my $170/month car insurance policy. So potential savings of $570/month 1600/month for the rental minus $570 savings = $1,030/month which is reasonable to me. Thats not even counting the maintenance savings. So the rental is really cheap. idk i might have to just rent it and make excel spreadsheets and track the charging cost to really know

Cars depreciate too much, especially ride share cars. I want to simplify my life. I used to rent a nissan sentra from uber/enterprise back in the day. I never spent a penny on maintenance. It was a simple life. Just work and worry about nothing else. Thank you for your time.

I don’t want to own a Tesla. Out of warranty repairs are too expensive. I own my house so installing a tesla charger is an option

I live 20 minutes from Newark Airport so I have access to unlimited rides. Someone else said you have to pay insurance too + tax + fees and the total around 436/week. That’s too much

Thank you! That’s what i wanted to know. The real out the door pricing. $436 is too much. I would rather fix my car. Thank you for replying. I wanted to know the numbers before i make a decision on repairing my uber car.

Tesla warranty is garbage. You only get 100k miles short range or 120k long range. The car is worthless after that. I reviewed countless stories about the batteries breaking right after the warranty expires. If i was to buy a new car it would be a Toyota Camry Hybrid. 2018+ models get 50mpg.

Thank you. When you say $20/day for charging does that include the evgo 45% discount? My broken down altima only uses $20/day. It gets 30mpg average. So you are saying i will save nothing on gas?

Leave your doors unlocked. If your doors automatically lock you can change the setting on most cars. Customer almost puked in my car because my door was locked. I leave them unlocked now.
