Like....... Why. Wonder how those seats soak up vomit?

Yes, It's cool..... I guess. And yes this is a real thing.

I've seen one taxi Model-S here in Finland too.

It's a pretty cool idea, But if I were a taxi driver I sure as hell wouldn't want to be carting around drunk people and such in a expensive car.

Expensive cars in taxi use is pretty much the norm here. Most taxis are new E-class Mercedes-Benzes and Volvo V70/XC70's.

Vienna has Taxi Teslas, too. Spotted one last week!

Some pretty ritzy areas in Northern Virginia, and also a lot of foreign visitors that may be more accustomed to having nicer cabs at home, so all in all, probably a decent business case.

Not only that, but I imagine they might be quite inexpensive to keep running in the long run. I'd be curious to know what the average taxi driver covers for distance in a half a day. (E.g.: eat lunch while doing a supercharge).

There's a gentleman in the Toronto area that Uber's one!

I want to be chauffeured in one so bad.

I guess. The thing is, the majority of people who are used to having nicer cabs hire black cars instead of taxis.

Roughly 170 teslas serves schipol airport, amsterdam. One in sweden and about 20 in Norway. Stockholm taxi s under way as well. It is a Major trend. The savings are enormous for the taxi companies.

How many miles do those car drive annually about?

In the U.S. cars have to take anywhere from 50-100,000 miles in around a 10 year service life. I just would be unsure if a Tesla could do that.
