[SF Bay Area] Who wants to drive a Roadster for free over the Christmas/NYE season?

    Of course, there's a catch ;-)

    The catch is that I'd like to swap my 2010 Roadster for a Model S, X or 3 over Christmas and/or New Year's Eve (dates flexible). My parents come to visit me in San Francisco over the two weeks of Christmas and New Year's Eve, and I want to move around and show them California – clearly the Roadster won't be able to accommodate 3 persons.

    A picture of the Roadster is attached. Great condition, carefully maintained by the Tesla service shop in Palo Alto, Ca; just got a refurbished battery a couple of months ago, giving it a maximum range of about 240 miles. And a ton of fun to drive. :)

    I understand that there are a couple of insurance-related implications to a driver swap, that we'd need to figure out. But I wanted to test the water and see if there are NorCal-based Tesla owners who would be game for a swap.

    If someone is interested, please let me know!

    Oooh. I’m so close to wanting to take you up on this offer but I think we’ll need both our 3 and our X during that time. Tempting though.

    I’d totally jump on this if I was closer. I’m sure you won’t have a problem finding someone.

    I am interested, I’ll just make sure we don’t have a lot of people visiting. Should know by tomorrow. Black Model X 75d. Send me a pm let’s also figure out insurance situation. Also X is a big car, bigger than it looks. Do you have space in the garage or somewhere safe to park. Some parts of SF are sketchy, had my old car broken in twice. I am in Santa Clara so not far.

    Just throwing this out there..
    Have you perhaps asked your SC if they have a loaner to trade? You would be less likely to get people "opening up your car" ;)
