It took me a while for it to sink in but I have to wonder, "$29 from LAX to Palm Springs"?
A NORMAL business would need to cover the depreciation/amortization of the $100k car, the costs incurred for having an employee aka "Pilot" in the car, in California the minimum wage is probably something like $72/hour for "skilled" labor like that.
I guess if GM can apparently make the business model of "Sure, we lose money on every sale, but we'll make up for it in volume" work, maybe Tesloopy can too.
Hahaha... yeah, I was skeptical too. But in all fairness, there were a couple other people in the car (although I didn't feel crammed in there), so they were making more than $29 for the trip.
I actually talked to the 'pilot' for a while and he explained how the biz works... they're making money. The route is driven multiple times a day with several passengers for each leg. One of their vehicles has over 300k miles on it in one year!

So do they charge by the mile or is there a standard route and they make several trips a day?
