At this point the Tesla brand itself is toxic to me, it’s not the sticker price stopping me. Putting that aside, what was Hertz smoking when they purchased a bunch of EVs for rentals? Either you’re driving a lot or you’re in unfamiliar territory, either way that sounds like a horrible fit for the use case.
I can see that. I actually would love to have an EV rental, payed for by someone else which is often the case with rentals, so I can try one out. I’d love a small electric truck… well if they made one.
Yep, I have a Bolt that I love and would trade in my other car for a small EV pickup, but there aren’t any. It sounds like 2027/28 there might be several. Of course, still waiting to see what the prices look like, but it looks like Chevy plans to do something in the new Ultium lineup (no go if they persist with not offering Android Auto) and Ford has plans for the Maverick (sounds promising).

EVs are a hot request for rentals. Source: I worked for a national car rental company.

Yeah I’d love an EV maverick.
