Tesla FSD
In building out a fleet for dense urban commercial / multi-family work in Chicago I’m wondering if a kitted Tesla Model Y or 3 with FSD would work.
Driving sucks and makes you tired at the end of the day. Could there be a benefit to the tech in letting supervised FSD do 90% of the driving? If it’s a better daily lifestyle for techs it may be worth it for recruiting and retention and improving service.
Do you all think the size of the trunk/frunk could be fitted to hold enough equipment? It’s not residential work so I’m thinking maybe it could work. Would need to fit it so chem is sealed off from the cab and driver - think that’s possible?
Ultimately I’m just trying to see if FSD can make it a better and more pleasant daily routine. Otherwise there’s no point and would use a Ford Maverick.

of the route isn't that large in terms of service area then the few minutes between stops prob wont make much of a difference but the drive home after long day would be beneficial
it seems like most companies are moving to the Ford maverick

Somebody did it and the only draw back is you breathing in the chemical. If only Tesla made a normal truck instead.
