Tesla Motors Club
Touring, Road Trips and Tesla Exchanges
Hi all
In TesLive we discussed the network of hotels with charge points that we are preparing in Europe to enable Model S owners to tour worry-free. (Drive and dream electric car tour experience)
This led to a new idea which I think may appeal to some of you... Tesla Exchanges.
It's kinda like house swapping but more focused on the car. Each party has an interest in looking after the car, and who can you trust more with your car than a fellow owner?
Essentially, when you go on vacation it is tricky/impossible/expensive to rent a Tesla. I just asked Hertz SFO and their Model S is $850 per day with LIMITED miles on top!
So, if we could start a TMC Model S exchange program we could match owners who have compatible travel plans, and both would benefit.
In addition, each could prepare routes with tested charging points so that each obtain a great Tesla vacation costing no more than the hotel accommodation.
So,
1) Anyone interested in the Tesla Exchange program?
2) Anyone interested in sharing here their favorite road trips and hotels for charging?
3) Is there a better area in TMC for road trip info sharing, the Tesla Exchange Marketplace etc.?
Obviously I will happily share my routes etc in Spain.... Just want to know where the best place is to do this first.
Cheers, Mark
