SAN FRANCISCO, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyte, the company pioneering cars delivered to you on-demand, today announced the launch of its new Tesla subscription product. The new fleet of premium electric cars will be available in San Francisco and New York City service areas (including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Jersey City) starting April 15^th.

What's more, for those that come to love the performance of their Tesla, Kyte provides the option to extend subscriptions flexibly at any time.

"Being able to expand our fleet and amplify EV adoption is mission-critical. We don't want to only be innovators in how we give people access to cars, but we want to be a catalyst for the rapid change going on in the transportation industry as a whole," said Erik Zahnlecker, Director of Product at Kyte. "This rollout is pivotal to our growth strategy and core to our electrified, autonomous, and shared vision."

Giving people access to cars was why Kyte was founded, and this allows the company to disrupt things once again.

About Kyte
Kyte aims to give people better access to fewer cars and replace car ownership by offering access to cars on demand. The company's intentional approach increases vehicle utilization and takes cars off the road for a more sustainable future while saving customers time and money.

Through the Kyte mobile app on iOS, Android, or website, customers can book a car for a day, multiple days, multiple weeks, months, or however long they want. To begin, customers choose a time and location for their vehicle delivery. Then, the company dispatches a delivery driver — known as a "Kyte Surfer" — to deliver a clean, sanitized car at the time requested. When the vehicle is ready to be returned, a Kyte Surfer retrieves the car from the customer at the location and time they can flexibly choose.

Currently operational in over a dozen cities, Kyte was founded in 2019 by Nikolaus Volk, Ludwig Schoenack, and Francesco Wiedemann, and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with offices in Munich, Germany, and satellites across the globe.
