[01:38:01] S7: And the Toyota Prius. [01:38:02] S0: Oh, interesting. Interesting. [01:38:04] S7: Yeah. Cool. [01:38:05] S0: Yeah. I was hoping you'd I [01:38:06] S1: was hoping for the Urus. No. Urus. Urus Urus would be good. Yes. But [01:38:11] S0: had such a Corbin's still on there. I realized like I was like, wait, a Turo I can just rent any car Yeah. That I want like in my backyard for This a was like I would, you know, when I graduated college and I had this realization I would just do it Saturday, I'd go and get like a Porsche. Back then I was very I was super limited because I was probably 22 at the time. Mhmm. And I wasn't clearing like certain people on tour, they're like, you can rent this car but you gotta be, you know, at Yes, least like, gotta be at least 30. Yeah. You guys let people set whatever age they want. Yeah. But I have amazing, very fond memories of of doing [01:38:51] S7: that. Amazing. I I'm a host on Turo. As you may see from my background screen, I've been hosting some of my cars for the last fifteen years and just completed a trip late last night. Two actually trips. My Audi r eight was out and my nine eleven since There you talked about [01:39:08] S0: we go. There we go. Yeah. There you go. Thank you for your service. Thank you for [01:39:12] S1: your service. I have
01:39:13 · Andre Haddad
[01:39:13] S7: the, 2012, Audi r eight GT, which as you may know, is a limited edition. Amazing. Only only 300 of those were made. But anyway, circling back to to to why we're excited about the experience of, you know, renting FSD on... To... Tesla FSD on Turo. Yeah. Well, you'll see on Wednesday, we're launching the actual product on Wednesday. We built actually a bunch of software to to enable it. Mhmm. First was building direct API integration with Tesla, so we are delighted to partner with them. Their teams have been amazing to work with. We have that direct integration with the API to check the, you know, eligibility of the vehicle as well as the FSD status of the vehicle. We wanna make sure that, you know, what we're presenting to our guests, our customers who are gonna rent the car, we wanna make sure that they actually have FSD enabled. Mhmm. And that, you know, the subscription is being paid for and it's current, and we're gonna check that right at the beginning of the trip to make sure that it's effective, you know, for for the start time of the trip. And also, you know, we have more Teslas than we have Teslas enabled with FSDs. So one of the cool things that we've done with our partners at Tesla is we're offering those hosts that have eligible Teslas but don't have yet an active FSD subscription, a one month free trial. Mhmm. This way, they'll be able to add it for free for a month. Hopefully, they'll see a lot of business from their Turo guests that are gonna be booking their cars and become, you know, long term and have subscribers to Dassault FSD and and help drive the success of that great piece of technology.

[01:40:53] S0: Do you have a charging integration yet? Like, if if a Turo rents Yes. We do. Because that feels important because if you're the owner of the car and then you're getting billed for Sure. Like directly Yes. [01:41:03] S7: It's very very important. We have we have that integration on the charging side. It still goes through the host's account, but we automatically take the... Got it. All of the EV charging that's happened, you know, during the trip and and at the end of the trip, and we automatically bill our guests based on that direct integration. So we've we've made that simple, you know, a couple of years ago, and now we're taking on FSD, which I think will make a seamless experience for for both hosts and guests. So anyway, now that we built this API integration, we can actually surface with confidence in a newly created sort of section of the app that you'll see going live on on Wednesday, you know, these vehicles, the the Tesla vehicles that that have FSD. And then when you book the car, you'll be able to be assured that you'll have, you know, an eligible vehicle that have an FSD that is active, and you'll be able to experience the magic of FSD.

[01:42:04] S1: This I'm thinking I heard a story about someone who was able to use Smart Summon on their on their FSD enabled Tesla to have it pick them up at the airport, which I don't even know if that's supposed to work that way. It feels a little too hard. When I think about Smart Summit, think, like, within the parking lot, but I guess it's technically a parking lot, so it worked at this particular airport. Wow. [01:42:28] S7: And not heard of [01:42:29] S3: it bad.
01:42:29 · Mark Swan, John Coogan, Andre Haddad
[01:42:29] S3: it bad. [01:42:30] S1: Yeah. Incredible. And so and so what I'm thinking is like there's a future where the range gets further and further and a Turo host will be able to say, okay, this this Turo customer wants to rent the car. They want it delivered to their house which is, you know, a mile away. Just send the car over there and then they have access to the car with FSD for their weekend or whatever they whatever they want to do. And it's sort of like a more advanced robo taxi precursor. Very, very interesting for the for the business. [01:42:59] S7: Yeah. We're... That's why we're very excited about AVs. Yeah. You know, of course, starting with Tesla. Yeah. And hopefully, as the the technology spreads to other car builders and manufacturers, you know, we think that this will be a phenomenal kind of enhancement to our Turo rental experience. To your point Yeah. Removes a lot of the friction of picking up and dropping off a vehicle, whether it's at the airport or the hotel or the home or the business location. You know, imagine if we can actually turn all of these cars into an FSD like experience in the future where you can, you know, book your road trip and then the car comes and picks you up at the airport or your hotel. Then you can keep it for, you know, the few days or the week or whatever. You have the the car for you. You don't have to hop in and out of robotaxis because you might be going, you know, to, you know, some, you know, destination that's not a very urban destination.

No. That's gonna be... I mean, it's gonna be really really powerful for the business. Especially the two factors. Like, one, the summon the summon element I think is gonna be amazing because somebody will be able to list their car. Like, when when that gets like to Yeah. [01:44:08] S1: Yeah. Yeah.
