Part 2/7:
To prepare my Tesla for the Turo platform, I invested approximately $150. This expenditure covered essential equipment such as a hard drive for the dash cam, a lockbox for contactless delivery, a charging cable, and premium connectivity for added guest amenities—think Netflix, Spotify, and navigation features. Despite initial reservations due to my lack of reviews and experience as a host, I hoped that someone would take a chance on my listing. Luckily, that came to fruition with the first rental.
Breakdown of Rentals: The Good and the Bad
In total, I managed eight rentals over the first month. Here’s a summary:
- Trip 1: A three-day rental brought in $127. Costs were minimal; the guest drove about 300 miles.
