Interesting idea. On the one hand it would make a great Amazon delivery driver since it never has to pee but it would have no way to get the parcels from the curb to the house so I don't think it would work in practice. I also don't think FSD is quite up to the job yet whatever Elon says.
Here is one (very detailed) post:
Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3
I wrote the below throughout 2019 and the first few months of 2020. When the pandemic hit in March 2020 I stopped rideshare (both as a driver and rider) and am now considering whether to get back into it once I'm vaccinated. Hope you find the essay below interesting (or helpful if you're...

I have mine out and about doing Robotaxi service, hope Tessie comes back home soon.
There's good money in Uber and Lyft right now well (here in the States that is). You have to hustle though. You get bonus for so many rides. Start rides in certain areas of the city and get more bonuses. Run both apps when things are slow.
We purchased the MY just for a business. www.fastpaceservices.com
Rent on Turo and did rideshare anytime it wasn't rented. Many riders would become renters. Since I have all the car detailing supplies (pressure washer foam cannon) I would also do detailing service for anyone that drops their car off when they picked up the MY. Then the job called me back, so we just rent from the house.

There was a company in the UK who'd manage renting your car out on short term loans (I think they were called whitecar or something like that). They took care of everything and it wasn't uncommon for people to leave their car with them while going on a 2 week holiday and not only would they not pay parking charges they'd make a few hundred. I think they were trying to do what Turo do in the states, but the company went under from memory.
Based on a few stops at Healthrow T5 superchargers before Covid, there were plenty of private hire cars, a few of them blocking the chargers waiting for their next job.

I read of one guy doing an airport taxi service in his Model S, as people enjoyed being picked up in an expensive luxury electric car.
Turos over here too now! However their insurance doesn't cover Teslas, so if you want to list you've got to provide your own Rental Insurance

When I see things like this, I think about the ole saying, "Right tool for the Right Job."
My day job is in the financial sector, I was considering moonlighting as a stripper and using my model 3 to drive to and from hen parties etc - my wife says no one would be interested though - if anyone needs a very slightly overweight balding mid 30s man to turn up at their house with Velcro pants on driving a model 3 LR drop me a message
What's the equivalent £/hr rate pay Amazon pay?
Local Amazon drivers around here are in 10 year old+ cheap run arounds.
There's nothing stopping you from using a Tesla for local delivery work, but if you have the 'free' time for it than doing extra shifts in the day job will probably pay you more?
It's totally different here compared to the US. Here you need a private hire license from the local council and everything that entails.

I use my MS to take passengers to and from the Airport and any other long distance travel. I part own a taxi service here in Portsmouth and finally decided to take the plunge to electric last year. I’ve not yet had any range anxiety and so far the customers are loving the car.
As you can imagine it has been very quiet since I took delivery in September 2020 but I have still managed 11,000 miles in that time. I have also had requests to use the car for proms and weddings.
