Rented a model 3 last year with the assumption I would just charge where I was staying. Sorry, we don’t include charging cable, you have to go to super chargers. We would charge to 80%, and drive. We got about 100 miles before we had to find a supercharger. Closest one to where we were staying was 10 miles,(20 minutes). Every day, we had to go charge for the 5 days of rental. Never got more than 110 miles of useful range. My guess was people abused the batteries to get more range. M
@danmaruska There appears to be gaps in how the story was reported. From what I gathered, people are posting on social media that Hertz is making customers offers to buy Hertz's rental vehicles. They're essentially having a clearance sale and the customers get first pick.
A tow truck? A generator? Plenty of ways. Here's a thought... learn how to actually plan ahead. I mean, think about it seriously for a minute... How many times have you run your ICE vehicle out of fuel? I can honestly say I've only done so 3 times, over the last 40 years, and each time, it was my own stupid fault. Yes, I will sensibly acknowledge & agree that it would currently still be cheaper to bring liquid fuel to a dead vehicle versus electricity to a dead vehicle.
Buying an EV is a financial suicide. From Teslas to Porsche Taycans and anything in between, the bottom keeps falling out of the EV market with no end in sight.
False. EV sales are still growing YoY. China is now 50% electric new sales and Norway is over 80%. In Las Vegas and LA I see thousands of EVs every day. We buy EVs because they are way faster and quieter and cheaper and way more fun than gas cars. As for “financial suicide” who ever buys a car as an investment? That’s just stupid.
@@mikeshafer : Not only that, but several U.S. states ARE forcing NEW vehicle purchase of EV's only, come 2035. Whether people want to believe it or not doesn't really matter. The laws have already been passed, and it is going to happen, unless they're repealed beforehand.
Rental car companies usually retire cars after 2-3 years whether they’re EV’s or not. I would not buy a used rental car or any type unless they’re giving them away. My brother bought a Chevy from Enterprise years ago. Total POS.

Never buy any car

No way a model s is going for 39k new.

Yeah, my thoughts as well. It's an odd story, to say the least.
Lack of infrastructure. I’m not sure if Hertz has a deal with Tesla for free supercharging for renters. Hopefully you’re near a charging station.
Hertz has no integrity and this is what they're worried about😂
Get a gimmicky car, you’ll get gimmicky results 🤷

I would leave it on the side of the road if given it was given to me for free.
its a battery operated TOY
Hertz has no idea what they're doing. What a ridiculous business model to require customers to charge an electric car before they bring it back.
They’re selling their Ford Mach-Es too if you got $60k to spend. The $26k Teslas got sold.
@OptimusPrime-x9x : Yeah, I wouldn't ever spend $60 grand on ANY vehicle, period.
People are remarkably stupid.
@ Hertz is stupid for buying a fleet of EVs when EV infrastructure is a problem.
There is zero chance that I would rent an EV. Too much hassle. Hybrid? Sure (and have). But not a fully electric EV.
Did you mean 2023 Model 3? Brand new Model S 2023 was never sold at $39,000.
