Renting a Tesla Model S

I recently rented a Tesla Model S for the weekend (see photos), to have an extended first-time experience:

  • Before driving, I watched this Tesla Model S Walkthrough video
  • I used peer-to-peer car sharing service Sharoo. The car has a hardware box and can be opened with the smartphone app. Worked like a charm.
  • Sharoo is a great way to share your car and earn some cash. I have talked to people who earn 500-800 CHF per month on Sharoo. If you own a car and use it only 5 percent of the time like most other people, consider sharing it.
  • The Model S is quite large, which you need to get used to. 
  • The acceleration is phenomenal. I had the one motor version. I can’t imagine why you’d ever need the dual or performance version.
  • Self-driving is the future. Autopilot worked great, even at 150 km/h
  • Supercharging is great, but takes time. You burn through a lot of energy, especially when having fun with the car.
  • Will I buy one? No. While I can’t stop talking about Elon Musk, I don’t want to own one. I want to use one. That is why I’ll be waiting for the Tesla Network (self-driving cars with the push of a button). Especially in combination with Hyperloop this might become my favorite mode of transport. 
  • Should you buy one? If you are in the market for a new car, I’d order a Model 3 or buy a pre-owned Model S, sharing them on Sharoo to cover the expenses.
