Tampa is about to experience a revolution in ridesharing,
powered by none other than the Tesla Model Y.
This Thursday marks the first official day that Dash – a
Tampa-based rideshare company with an acronym for Downtown Area Shared Hubs
(DASH) will start offering rides in 7 neighborhoods across Tampa—and they’ll
only cost $2 per ride!
Dash has chosen the Tesla Model Y as its vehicles of choice
and this revolutionary model boasts an impressive suite of capabilities, making
it perfect for this new service: Dash will become Tampa’s go-to method of
transportation soon enough!
Ridesharing companies are becoming increasingly popular in
the sunshiny state of Florida, giving more convenience to locals and more
options to visitors.
Tampa is a Florida city surrounded by towns located on the
Gulf of Mexico – an already popular spot for tourists, temporary visitors, and
those looking for a great place to live.
But now that rideshare companies like Revel in New York or
Dash in Tampa have launched efforts in these US cities, it’ll be even easier to
get around quickly and conveniently.
Tesla is once again proving how its vehicles can propel a
ridesharing revolution. Dash, the latest entrant in Tampa’s transportation
industry, is following Revel’s footsteps by utilizing an all-electric fleet of
Tesla Model Y crossovers to facilitate rides.
The drivers are trained as guides by the Tampa Downtown
Partnership and the services will be launched on a part-time basis from
Thursday onwards with full-time services launching as early as Friday.
This new way of preferred transportation around downtown,
according to Shaun Drinkard (Interim President of the Tampa Downtown
Partnership), is distinctive because of its unique look.
While other transportation choices such as the streetcar,
e-bikes or scooters, and Pirate Water Taxi all have their own charm, Dash’s
Tesla Model Y’s stand out with their bright yellow color. It will almost be
impossible to not spot these Tesla’s!

Electric rideshares are becoming more relevant as consumers
intend to reduce carbon emissions. Companies like Dash and Revel, smaller
companies operating in large cities with fleets of exclusively electric
vehicles, allow riders to make eco-friendly transportation decisions while supporting
a greener future for the planet.
Revel operates out of New York City and has been expanding
into Brooklyn last year. Meanwhile, major rideshare companies such as Uber and
Lyft are encouraging the switch to EVs by helping drivers obtain them through
discounts or other rewards programs. Riders can also choose electric vehicles
when using services like Uber Green in certain regions; recently used for trips
to Ocean City and Las Vegas!
Tesla recently got in the game, providing “robo-taxis” to
use for ridesharing services. The Tesla Model Y is now part of Tampa’s growing
electric rideshare revolution and is leading the way for other cities across
America. By further embracing electric vehicles as viable options for
transportation, cities like Tampa will make great strides in their
sustainability initiatives!

Tesla’s Model Y has become the star of Tampa’s ridesharing
revolution, providing an efficient and environmental-friendly solution for
transportation.
The electric vehicle offers a unique alternative to
traditional gas-powered rideshare cars due to its low cost, convenience, and
reliability.
Additionally, Tesla owners are eligible for exclusive
charging station discounts in partnership with local businesses offering
uninterrupted service throughout the city.
As Tampa continues to modernize its ride-sharing
services with increased EV support–the future looks bright!
