The #Turo dumpster fire, coming soon to the US government. https://basedfob.substack.com/p/big-tech-has-disrupted-the-social

Wait, so the Cybertruck Cuck offed himself in somebody else's car?
The Turo app works like Air B 'n B for cars, so some dude (definitely going to be a dude) was watching his vehicle go up in flames outside the Trump tower!
Will Elon compensate the owner for his vehicle being involved in an impromptu 'viking funeral' or just laugh and do nothing?

Petite chronique de quand y a rien qui fonctionne :

- Dans un gros groupe d'amis des études, on se planifie des retrouvailles 6 mois à l'avance, dans le bled paumé où l'un d'eux habite.
- Plein de gens viennent de loin en train (faut passer par Paris).
- La #SNCF annule les trains du bled PILE ce week-end (travaux). Pas de bus de remplacement.
- Je veux louer une voiture sur #Turo. Sauf que sur mon smartphone dégooglisé, je peux pas installer l'appli qui est nécessaire pour confirmer la résa.

@SteveInVentura I only drove a 2014 #BMWi3 for three days, rented from #Turo and I could already tell that I wouldn’t want to drive anything else. 🤷‍♂️

Is this YouTube channel a reliable source?

@ukuku as you may (or may not) have noticed, I recently rented an i3 on #Turo as well. I just wanted to know if the dogs would fit in it, if Kris would like it, and if the local CCS charging station would work or not.

Everything worked out. The owner was a lovely man, but a little clueless! 🤣

I had a good experience, but I don’t know if I’d ever rent out my vehicle that way. I nice follow up story to this news report would be how the owner did, or did not, get compensated. 😱

fingers crossed, I just rented a car on #Turo, the P2P car #rental service. I'm a bit nervous, but the car rental folks wanted $100+ for a basic model!

Has anyone used #turo to rent a car? How was the experience?

@timfoster They’re also jumping the gun IMO. 🤨

Just last week, I rented a #BMWi3 through #Turo to try it out. There are ZERO Tesla chargers in my fairly affluent neighborhood, but there are many CCS chargers, including one within a 5 minute walk. I posted about this elsewhere.

Sure, a Tesla could use this location too, but they aren’t helping neighborhood charging one bit with any of their own investment initiatives.

This was installed by #PowerFlex from #EDF Renewables.

@DenOfEarth @autonerdery the #Turo test car from 2014, with the top Tera spec, and technology package, did have keyless open and lock, as well as keyless start. 😉

@guacamayan

I've been using DuckDuckGo's (beta) function to defeat app tracking too. It's been educational!

Just yesterday, a friend recommended the #Turo app for car rentals, which apparently is largely for sharing private vehicles. Turo tries to track *a lot*, even when it appears to be closed. Fortunately the "force quit" option seems to have stopped it; next step would have been to uninstall.

@LionelB I read the #Turo rules before returning the vehicle, and it states it has to be charged to at least 91%. Not easy when the dude is 9 miles away and the battery only charges to 40-50 miles of range (instead of 72).

I used EcoPro+ from the charging station, to get to the freeway 1.5 miles away. Charge stayed at 100%. Once on the freeway, I used EcoPro and set cruise for 70 mph, but within a mile, the charge level dropped to 97%. 😱

Our island rental for a couple of days, via #Turo. Planning to do a big loop around the north shore today, then west side tomorrow. Friday we are booked for snorkeling from a catamaran.
