Good points. I guess if a service like Uber is barely profitable, it won't make sense. On the other hand, if there's a good profit margin to be made, I'd want to see how well it does (at least in a model. I suppose I can look this up myself somehow).

It would be a market with decreasing costs. The technology is still in its infancy, so there's a lot of progress to be made. Energy will get cheaper now that solar is on the rise (assuming none of these cars would use fossil fuels) - That leaves a lot of room for prices to move, and for cheaper/more attractive competition to emerge I would say.

No idea how to model this, but I can only imagine that driving prices and profit margins down.
