In this episode, I discuss whether I should have accepted a long trip offer for $314, despite my Tesla having only 20% battery at the time. I break down the financials, travel time, and costs to determine if the trip would have been profitable. Along the way, I share different strategies for selecting trips, including balancing short and long rides, and the importance of understanding your own costs. Ultimately, I reveal that taking the trip would have been more profitable, but highlight the complexity and risks involved in making such decisions. Join the conversation and let me know what you would have done in this scenario.
