I don't even so much mean the look, it's just impractical for a taxi; it seats two people, with minimal luggage space.

Presumably Musk doesn't think about things like going to the airport with your spouse and kids because none of his kids want anything to do with him, and going to the bar with friends because that would require friends

Yes he does.

You have to get at least three taxis to go to the airport: one for the parents, one for the kids and one for the luggage. That's 3-times the sales as a regular taxi.

Check mate!

During the event, it was also mentioned that the existing Model 3 and Model Y vehicles would be used as taxis, which could transport 3 to 7 passengers at a time.
