MY TESLA TURO REVIEW AFTER 100 USERS | I'M OUT AND HERE'S WHY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details their experience operating a Tesla fleet on the Turo rental platform over three years, concluding with a decision to exit the business. While acknowledging the potential for passive income and the popularity of Teslas on Turo, the host emphasizes the significant time commitment and stress involved. Key issues highlighted include numerous repair costs, ranging from minor cosmetic damage like curb rash and bumper scuffs to major mechanical failures such as an axle repair costing $6,000 and a $23,000 repair after a rear-ending incident. The reviewer also recounts challenging renter experiences, including extreme mileage trips (over 4,000 miles in a Model 3), disputes over damage and tire pressure, and a renter exceeding 145 mph in a Model S Plaid, necessitating the use of speed limit mode. Despite earning $28,509 in revenue in 2022, the host states that this was largely consumed by operational costs like car payments, insurance, maintenance, and employee pay, ultimately deeming the venture not passive and too demanding. The reviewer concludes that while others may find success, the business was not for them.
