We’ve written before about car sharing platforms being used by EV owners, particularly Tesla owners, to make a little side money with their cars. Turo is the biggest example of this, and they’ve shared some statistics with us about their platform showing that EVs are quite popular there and gaining steam much faster than the rest of the site.
With the “sharing economy” growing in popularity, the startup Turo is trying to introduce a new ownership model to the car industry that could lower the cost of ownership and get more out of your car. In a new post, the company’s CEO, Andre Haddad, released some statistics about Tesla Model S owners using Turo.
Haddad argues that Tesla owners using Turo can pay their monthly car payments entirely by renting out their vehicle roughly 7 days out of the month.

But now we learn of other Tesla owners finding innovative ways to afford their Model S. Some owners are using car-sharing platforms in order to finance the expensive purchase.
