clear that would allow us to be able to operate in new york with direct rentals but right now we're using the turo platform gotcha okay that makes that actually answers some questions i had for you later because i was a little confused about that but okay so you do are do you own the cars or do you lease them or so we we own all the cars that we're running out right now um we are actually looking at adopting the turo style model so one of the things that's delayed us a lot in the insurance process one insurance is not cheap but two is getting an underwriter that would support the type of structure similar to atturo so our goal for hopefully end of the quarter is that we would have both the insurance and our software fully set up that if you own a tesla and let's say you live in new york city which this is not an uncommon thing but you're only going to drive it one week out of the month you know it's just to get out of the city that one week and go wherever but you don't want to have it just sitting in a garage and then costing you money so you're going to put it onto our platform we basically take it from the point of you saying okay i want to list it and we handed it over to the customer we play this middle management role it's a little bit different than turo because right now what's happening on turo is that either you as an individual or what's happening in a number of markets is you have these super hosts and the super hosts are actually managing vehicles on behalf of a lot of those owners and we kind of stumbled into this model almost and partially because of the company that we're working with we're seeing atlanta las vegas san diego each of these markets has about one or two super hosts that are actually dominating the touro listings and they're looking at it and saying i might as well not go and do a hertz franchise or an avis franchise i'm just going to be a super host listening underneath turo and manage these vehicles on behalf of other people and they're actually the ones that are cleaning house and making the most amount of money of anybody in the entire process gotcha okay so so i i mean going forward is the idea that you're going to have kind of a bifurcated model where you will own some vehicles but also be the best middle improvement i and i i call it a bit of a hybrid or a blended model because we want to have our own cars we have apis from tesla for example and we want to do testing out of how our software interacts with those apis in order to provide a custom experience on the tesla we work out on our vehicles then also we can go to those third-party owners and say hey we want to upgrade the experience that users are getting when they're renting your car but we need to have kind of our own test vehicles in order to be able to kind of experiment with different things that we want to do and understand you know where the demand in the market is what customers are asking for it um i mean one thing that i would love to do and i i don't think is pre-announcing anything but it's something that is a goal of mine anyway that if somebody put their tesla onto our platform and let's say god forbid
