Tesloop - a new sort of mass transport
A new transportation service has sprung up in the last year between San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and Palm Springs. It relies on Tesla Model X vehicles running multiple loops a day with a reasonable number of locations and reasonable prices. Just ...

Good question, this car is technically in "No Man's Land"
I've done some analyzing of projects similar to this. There's a problem here. Limousine/car-hire companies normally have very "low" insurances on cars, black cars, Town cars, because they only seat 2-4 people usually. A 10+ passenger van will normally car...

You need URB-E instead
If it fits in the Fiat it should fit into the Tesla: If it fits in the Lotus, it should fit in the Tesla: Then you can get to wherever you park that big scary bike. Cazalea ...
