This is just the dumbest idea I've heard.

On paper, it sounds great, but it seems to miss the context of humans. Humans are a garbage species. Within a week, that Tesla would be trashed.

Hire cars (backed by credit card) don't seem to fare sooo bad. Although I'd hate to argue the toss over any scratches i certainly didn't make, it must have been the last renter. Legal minefield?

Legal minefield and more, imo.

It's a neat idea, but the world isn't the pollyanna paradise required for this to work.
