If FSD is good enough, and if Tesla does a great job of shielding us from liability claims and they take responsibility for sorting out any damage, then we'd probably do it.

THIS is exactly why I’m concerned about the Tesla Network. The potential for an amazing and world-changing service is absolutely there, but Tesla’s constrained resources make me think that there will be far too many potholes in the road. You need a veritable army to do this right, providing a seamless experience for both riders and owners and giving everyone the personal protections they expect (and this is separate and apart from getting FSD to work reliably!).
Look at how large Uber and Lyft and Airbnb are - you would need a similarly sized division within Tesla to do this with any success. Otherwise it will remain a poorly functioning and underutilized parlor trick, kind of like Autopark.
Look, I LOVE the Company, what it stands for and it’s mission, but let’s be honest...managerially at least right now, Tesla is super week with regards to policies, consistency, follow-up, communication, refunds, etc. In short, basically everything you’d need to successfully pull off the Tesla Network in a way that would not shaft Tesla owners the Company is terrible at...
I like the idea of buying the car now and enjoying it personally for 3-5 years and then letting it enter the Robo-Taxi Fleet to make $10,000+ or more per year. Perhaps a good investment, that as an 'appreciating asset", will pay for its replacment. This may be the best way to way to finance my Model Y down the line. The real question is if it makes more sense to "Trade In" your Tesla in 3 years or keep it and enter the Robo-Taxi Fleet and use those $10,000/yr proceeds to finance your next Tesla... ???
how many doors will be damaged by this?
I have to show every person how to open the doors. The general public will just bash on the doors lol. Then once they get in, they'll be like... how the fk do i get out!
I might buy a second one to run on the Tesla network. If it would pay for itself why not?
Answer may be to buy stock as a hedge if you planning on buying another Tesla or FSD in the future.If they get to the point of paying for themselves, though, the cost to buy one (or at least the FSD software) will go way, way up as a result if insane demand.

You named your car Flash too? I spell mine differently though. It’s FLAshhh.I voted "maybe" because it depends entirely on how the Tesla Network will work. if I get to be in the car when it picks people up, sure. If I can use it to pick up family and friends sure. But just sending my beloved "Flash" off on its own where who knows what strangers might do to it while I am away, heck NO!

Yeah, I have the Flash theme song on my Amazon play list. I wish it would play it on start up, at least the “Flash, Ah-ah, he’s the savior of the universe”. Not sure how long that would take to get old, maybe never though. Mine is red too.Yes, I did. I am a big fan of the Flash character. My Model 3 is red like the Flash's costume. And since Teslas are known to be fast, like the Flash, I figured it would be a good name.
