Whole Mars Catalog(@wholemars):That’s not really what’s driving the leasing model. Near term, it just helps sidestep durability and cost concerns. Long term as the cost approaches ~$25,000 as opposed to $100k + I think you’ll probably be able to buy one… but most people will order them the same way they order a robotaxi. Just go in the app and call 2 robots for 2 hours. Tesla sends them in a Cybercab, you pay them hourly like a human, and then they leave. Your car gets charged for the ride and the bots.
