Tesla is stepping up the test drive game! If you’re lucky enough to live in the right area, you won’t even need to go to a dealership to give one of their cars a spin.
According to a report from Not a Tesla App, the company has introduced a new service called Tesla Ride, which allows you to take a test drive right from your home. It’s super easy: just hop onto the Tesla website or reach out to your local Tesla dealer, and a Tesla representative will come to your door with a Model Y Long Range AWD for you to try out.
Currently, this service only includes the Model Y, but there’s hope for future options!
These at-home drives last about 45 minutes and give you a taste of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software with a knowledgeable adviser riding shotgun. Want to bring the family along? No problem, they can join you on this exciting ride back home!
This year, Tesla has had its ups and downs with sales, but innovations like their FSD and the new Robotaxi service keep generating buzz. Plus, with more affordable options like the Model 3 and now this home test drive service, becoming an EV owner is becoming much easier.
Switching to an electric vehicle not only comes with benefits like lower maintenance costs and reduced emissions, but it’s also great for your wallet. If you’re looking for ways to save on charging, having a home charging setup is way cheaper than public options, potentially saving you hundreds each year.

And don’t forget about solar panels! They can significantly cut down your energy bills and help you live independently from the grid. With TCD’s Solar Explorer, you can connect with trusted installers and could save up to $10,000 by getting competitive quotes.
Whether choosing a Tesla or another brand, making the buying process smoother encourages wider adoption of EVs, benefiting everyone and the environment.
To qualify for this home test drive experience, you need to be over 21, have a driver’s license and insurance, and reside near a Tesla service center.
As Not a Tesla App pointed out, “This door-to-door experience helps get people into Teslas who might otherwise be hesitant to step into a showroom.”
