Why are you crying over spilt milk? The car is already created. He already owns it. He has stated he wants to keep it.
Anyone used Karshare?

No. It’s a Tesla appliance. Why would you museum that ? Just what’s the benefit in someone potentially damaging it. Adding miles. Wearing out tyres etc. you rent it out for money. Not for the feel good factor of being a good citizenI hope you aren't one of these "ehmahgawd its sacrilege to own a nice car and put it in a museum" type folks
It’s called a discussion forum with opinions shared. I didn’t realise he only wanted your point of view. To accuse me of crying over spilt milk is a little odd.
However I haven’t used karshare so I admit I can’t really offer what the OP wanted.
So use it as such and extract as much value from it as possible. Your self awareness is low with this post. Tyres can be replaced (and covered by the rental fee). Miles increases depreciation (offset by the rental fee).
So why wouldn't you rent your appliance?

I wouldn't be questioning Simon's self awareness at this point. 
"Extract as much value from it as possible", but it's not about the money.

A sensible idea. Almost like it is about the money then?
What a great idea. However I can assure you it’s about utilising an asset not making money !
Same as why I don’t rent out my arseSo use it as such and extract as much value from it as possible. Your self awareness is low with this post. Tyres can be replaced (and covered by the rental fee). Miles increases depreciation (offset by the rental fee).

I think Karshare/similar schemes have an upper mileage limit, no battered old ones allowed.
Oh damn. That’s a shame I can’t utilise my sweet asset
FTFY
From the site... We install our unique KarshareGo technology in every vehicle on our platform. This ensures that all rentals are 100% contactless and managed via the Karshare app.
So it sounds like they install some box of tricks to be able to unlock via the app... another reason to avoid this idea like the plague!
Ok this blew up.
To confirm, it's not about the money insofar as I don't need the money. It's remuneration for sure and no, of course I wouldn't do it if there was none, I'm not a charity and the aforementioned extra costs (wear on tear of tyres, brakes, cleaning etc) need to be covered. The car (and yeah, it's a Tesla Model 3 for whoever asked) is owned by my business, part of why I'm not 'precious' about it, but there's a whole factor of reasons - including sporadic long distance usage and business use - that means I'm not interested in selling.
I've got my business hat on mainly and I'm just interested to see how it works, whether it is worth it (or not), what the experience is like, how much it would rent for (and to who), and then a small amount of the socio-economic benefits that come from car sharing.
Hiring a Model 3 costs upwards of £175 per day from a quick glance at some hire companies, if they even have one. I think Hertz was something stupid like £350 per day. Looking on Karshare there are very very few EVs - which is interesting given fuel prices at the moment - and no Tesla's as far as I could find, unless they were already hired for the dates I popped in.

Again, this is the point of my OP. What was it like, where is it, any issues etc. But I'm not concerned, especially with the app functionality of the Tesla. It's what all car share schemes have used for decades anyway.

Haha, same. I havent let the wife drive any of my cars as she would just kerb the **** out of the wheels when parking and she has no idea of the concept of mechanical sympathy

Owned by your business, so how does that work tax wise then?
