You are right which is why I lease a Tesla not own it. When solid state cells with twice the energy density and also 5C+ charge rates are in commercial production the Tesla gets returned off lease and a solid state car replaces it. I figured out that by peer to peer lending my Tesla it pays the lease payment in a few days of rentals. I also let a neighborhood college guy sublease it for Uber use he pays by the hour for it and that’s money in my pocket. EVs get preference and higher rates on Uber. I’m looking at weekly leasing a second Black Model Y Tesla specificity for Uber Black use it’s $200 hr.average for a Uber Black ride. Hire a driver who doesn’t have the credit score to lease a Model Y directly from Tesla or Uber. I foot the capital they do the driving labor we both make money as I take a percentage of the Uber payout to cover the lease expense and my.capex recovery profit. I have two plugs on site so both can charge over night to 100% before the drivers come and take them for the day. I only take the Tesla for entertainment runs into the city or bumper to bumper gridlock with FSD turned on. The other days it just would sit as sunk capital so why not peer to peer and Uber it out. I’m all about passive income it’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.
