I plan to rent my MS60 when it arrives. Not sure on price yet, but Im thinking 300/day, no mileage limit, minimum 2 days, or hourly at 50/hr, minimum 2 hrs.

When I rent my Roadster out, I decided not to put a mileage limit on it. The time it takes to charge is a huge limiting factor and in essence they're paying me for them to charge it (time is money). While the MS will cut down on that with superchargers, it still is a limiting function so I probably again will not limit based on mileage. Its not like I'm worried about wear and tear on the engine, err motor! I won't have to change the oil, spark plugs, etc. any sooner. :tongue:It does - its $449 per day! Max of 100 miles per day. Seems steep...
All along I said that I was renting out the car more to create a paradigm shift in the fight for the hearts and minds of the potential EV user. Never was about the money as I think renting out the car may be more hassle than its worth. That being said, here was a note just dropped to me today:Hi Ian,I rented your Roadster a while back. I have a Model S question. I just ordered a black Model S about a month ago. I have done the test drive and the day to day stuff is great. I'm just wondering more about the superchargers. I do a lot of trips to Northern California and average 75 - 80 MPH. The Tesla calculator thing on the site only has 55 for highway driving and says you'd need a single stop at the supercharger. Just wondering how your experiences have been doing trips with the superchargers in terms of time spent.Cheers!Mission Accomplished!
I am considering ordering a model S and would put it up for rental in Denver with airport delivery included if needed. I see there seems to be quite a bit of interest in other owners renting one while on vacation, so what kind of premium are you willing to pay? Hertz is charging $400/day with only 75 miles included. I was thinking of something closer to $250/day or $1000/ week with maybe 100 miles/ day included. A very reasonable $.35/Mile overage. Anyone want to reserve for their fall or winter trips? Of course winter tires will be installed in the fall for those trips up to Vail and Aspen. I might also consider a discount for other owners.
Chauffeured options also available at reasonable rates.

SeanTek, you make some fascinating suggestions. If I were to rent out my Model S, I would be much more comfortable doing so to a current Model S owner so that the tech would be familiar.
I wonder if we setup an exchange like timeshares use, where we offer use of our Model Esses for a certain number of days and then receive similar "credit" to enjoy somebody else's Model S in the network.
Of course, this mitigates the exposure for newbies to the Tesla experience. Something I enjoy sharing with friends & family.
Sounds like a reasonable price. Did you get any takers at that rate ?I plan to rent my MS60 when it arrives. Not sure on price yet, but Im thinking 300/day, no mileage limit, minimum 2 days, or hourly at 50/hr, minimum 2 hrs.
