Tesla's CEO Elon Musk stated in company's Autonomy day that it expects to launch Robotaxi network as early as in 2020. Potentially this allows Tesla owners to add their properly equipped Tesla vehicles to ride-sharing app which allows users to make money whenever they don't need the car. But Tesla said it would take 20-30% cut of the owner's earnings (customers that make money through Tesla's ride sharing app). Still how cool is that to make money off of your car when you are relaxing/ at work/ sleeping. This makes a car no longer a depreciable asset but one can view as an investment (provided these claims go through as per the plan).
Musk estimated that owners can make as much as $3000 in gross profit every year by taking advantage of Tesla's ride sharing feature. He (Musk) also went on to say that there could be price hike on Tesla vehicle and suggested customers to grab the opportunity of buying right now before the price shoots up. As every time, Elon Musk promised that he'd expect to see 1 million Robotaxis to hit the road in 2020. Do you think Tesla can pull this off in 2020? Let us know what you think?
