This would actually make good sense. The taxis here in Oslo are mostly E-series MBs and they do spend a lot of time idling at Taxi stops. If you can trickle charge everytime you are not driving and a few quick-charge stations reserved for taxies and you should be good.

On thing I forgot, the author of that article uses the Euro <> Dollar conversion to calculate the Model S price.
As we see with the Roadster, the base price in the US is $101.000, where it is EUR 84.000. That is a rate of 1.2, where the euro is at 1.34 right now.
Converting the base price of the Model S again, $57.000 / 1.2 = EUR 47500 as a base price for the Model S. Not the 36.000 he says.

Got there eventually :-)
Yes, but the 60k was with the extra options. But he took a base-price of 36k. Adding the bigger battery when the base is 47k, you won't make it with 60k I think.
I think a loaded Model S with a lot of options will cost you around 80k
I would assume so. I have never seen any other pictures of a yellow Model S prototype, and it would make sense that they mocked up something for the story.

Only 4.5 years from the original post suggesting this! 
Surprised it would make sense to use MSes as taxis, but happy to see it.

Did not make sense to open a new thread when one existed already:wink:

Oh la vache!
Some friends were in Amsterdam earlier this year and mentioned the hundreds of Model S taxis there. I don't mind the thought of Model S taxis...but don't want them crowding the Superchargers.

Seems like Tesla should assess a special Supercharger use fee for commercial operators of Model S and X. Though how they would know about an Uber Black use is not clear. I'd expect this guy's Colorado limo registration would be in a public database?
