I am trying to gauge the feasibility of exchanging my car here in California with someone's in Europe for a week or two. My fiancee and I love to take road trips and we think it would be amazing to be able to do one in Europe in a Model S. While I normally would not be comfortable letting anyone else driving my car, the only thing that could tempt me to do so would be the chance to drive another Tesla overseas.
I would be flexible on timing (sometime in 2015) and location. I think it would be cool to do a one-way road trip where we would fly into an airport in one country and fly out of a different country at the end of the trip. If the other driver wanted to do a similar thing in the US, say a west coast-east coast road trip, then at the end of the trip I could fly back to the east coast and drive my car back home to the west coast, while the European driver would drive theirs back to their home country. So we would each be able to do a one-way road trip on each continent.
Obviously, there would be a lot of details to hammer out. I would be looking for an established TMC poster (I got my 85 in February 2013 and have been posting on this forum ever since). In addition to anyone who might be interested in doing this, I'd love to hear from anyone who actually has done a car exchange as well as from people who think this might be a terrible idea. Thanks!
