Great points and thank you for taking the time to read it! I completely agree with you that some of the assumptions may need to be dialled back based on deeper investigation and refinement. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to re-run the model to see what it spits out. This can be a...

Ok, thanks for the input. After 4 rounds, you keep brining up stuff that's addressed in the plan, which you don't seem to have read but instead just call B.S. because of wrong assumptions about what's being proposed. I'm all for having a legitimate discussion about key assumptions being wrong...

Love that we're getting into the details, this is exactly how ideas get tested and improved! To address your question about the number of home chargers downtown, I'll break it down to two factors: 1- Do these privately owned spots exist near high demand locations where parking fees are high...

It makes more sense when you look at the model and the assumptions in it (owner keeps 60%). You can save a copy and modify the blue assumption cells to whatever you think makes sense and see what you get. Tesla Home Charger CarBnB Model - PublicRevenue Model Tesla Home Charger CarBnB Revenue...

Fair point about it potentially cluttering up the search, but I'd propose that could be solved with some filters and user experience design: 1- They normally only show up when the driver routes to a destination and then the app would ask if they want to book destination parking + charge. At...

+ Parking, and that's where a lot of the revenue comes from (check out the model in the link). In places where this would work, people are paying for parking anyway. Why not pay for it from a fellow EV owner who's not using their spot when you need one? If it's priced a bit below what the...

Thanks Gndy, really appreciate the positive words!

That's totally fair, it's not for everyone, not should it be (just like AirBnb). AirBnB has still built an $86 Billion business out of the segment that does like what they do. So if this is similarly viable, why would Tesla turn down that kind of in-house opportunity? Easy money to further...

Love it! Totally agreed it doesn't need to be a Tesla thing. They just have 80% of the pieces in place right now to do this fast and cheaply: - Millions of installed L2 chargers that can be controlled by software and set to only allow charging for specific teslas - A vertically integrated...

Not saying it's an issue, I agree with you supercharging's great! But wouldn't it be better if you're driving downtown and paying for parking anyway to be able to have your charge topped up while you're at work + knowing ahead of time exactly where you'll find a spot? It's just a better user...

Sort of, I agree with you that in the suburbs when there's nothing interesting within walking distance this wouldn't work. More for people who have homes or condos near city centres, office buildings, and attractions. The spot would be rented when the owner is out. Eg. If you live downtown but...

Great question! (How to get paid) Tesla's level 2 wall chargers are already enabled to be software controlled and can be set to only work for specific Teslas. The renter (who already has a Tesla account with a payment card on file), just books the space with their navigation and their fee gets...

I definitely agree, you likely wouldn't want to buy a new space for this. It's more about earning from a spot when you don't use it yourself. Would work with condo parking too, which tends to be very common downtown (at least around here). My thinking is that there are a lot of people who live...

Was wondering if it might make sense for Tesla to consider making owners' home chargers and parking spots in high demand areas available for rent when the owner isn't using them. So as a holiday project I threw together a financial model, interactive Figma user experience mock up, and partial...
