We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Walter Cueva. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Walter below.

Alright, Walter thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

At Teslys, our mission goes beyond just car sharing. We’re also dedicated to helping people who are struggling with the financial burden of auto loans, particularly Tesla owners who may be at risk of defaulting. We understand that owning a Tesla is a significant investment, and when financial pressures arise, it can be tough to keep up with payments. That’s where Teslys steps in.

By renting out their Teslas through our platform, owners can avoid defaulting on their loans while making money every two weeks. Instead of worrying about payments, owners can earn passive income by sharing their cars with people who need them. This not only eases the financial stress for the owner but also contributes to the growing community of electric vehicle users.

Sharing Teslas through our platform is also an environmentally conscious choice. By putting more electric vehicles on the road, we help reduce carbon emissions, making a positive impact on the environment. Every Tesla rented through Teslys means one less gasoline-powered car, which brings us one step closer to a greener, cleaner future.

Our mission at Teslys is to create a win-win solution: providing financial relief for car owners while promoting eco-friendly transportation options for renters. This is more than just a business to us—it’s our way of contributing to a more sustainable world, and we’re proud to be part of the solution.

Walter, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

At Teslys, we help Tesla owners turn their vehicles into revenue-generating assets by managing rentals on their behalf. Many owners face financial pressure from car payments, and we provide a solution by handling everything from listings and guest communication to maintenance. Owners receive payouts every two weeks, helping them avoid defaulting on their loans.

What sets us apart is our focus on sustainability—every Tesla rented through Teslys helps reduce the number of gas-powered vehicles on the road. We’re proud to help owners ease financial stress while promoting eco-friendly transportation. Teslys is about financial empowerment, hassle-free car management, and a commitment to the environment.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was that success always has to follow a straight line, that if you work hard enough, everything will fall into place in the order you expect. I used to believe that if I just followed a set formula—study hard, work harder, and keep going—everything would align. But life doesn’t really work that way.

I had to unlearn this when I first started Teslys. I thought it would be a smooth process, that as long as I had the vision and worked hard, everything would fall into place. But there were twists and turns I didn’t anticipate—financial challenges, logistical issues, even people doubting that the business model would work. I realized that resilience, flexibility, and adaptability were far more important than sticking rigidly to any plan. Success isn’t about the straightest path; it’s about how well you navigate the curves.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

A moment that really tested my resilience came early on in Teslys when we were just starting to manage Tesla rentals. There was a period where several owners who trusted us to handle their cars started facing financial pressures, and they needed their vehicles to generate income fast. We had just launched, and I was still figuring out how to streamline operations while keeping up with owner demands.

At one point, we had a couple of vehicles ready to go, but no rentals. It was a make-or-break moment for us, where I felt the weight of both our clients’ expectations and the future of Teslys. Instead of panicking, I pivoted our marketing strategy overnight, focusing on a new target audience. I spent sleepless nights redesigning our listings, tweaking our approach, and doubling down on customer communication.

By the end of that month, we had managed to secure more rentals than ever before, helping both our clients keep up with their payments and solidifying our place in the car-sharing market. It was a tough stretch, but it showed me that resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship—it’s about meeting it head-on and adapting quickly when things get tough.
