But honestly you’re 100% correct, and people need to start realizing that.
How far did he think he was gonna go on empty? According to the article the vehicle was on empty when he took it out that night.
That is some pretty bad judgement, right?
By the way, I live just south of Fremont. I remember when the Fremont Police Dept added their Model S, in solidarity with the Fremont Tesla plant.
I hope this makes the basic Nissan Altima back down to reasonable prices. I have no interest in renting a Tesla. I put a ton of miles on rentals when I get them
RIGHT!
911's used to win Paris to Dakar.
Idaho has tried the E.V. registration tax. It lasted 1 or 2 years, I had to pay about double for my Hybrid Accord. It was then Quickly repealed.

So I spend the better part of 60 large on a Model 3 in Dec 2018.
TSLA was in the low $60 range.
Let's see... $58,000 / $63 = 920 shares.
920 * $1,024 = a lotta scratch...
Ya win some and ya lose some...

By that logic, railroads should should still be running steam, so they could hold on to more employees and have lower profits. Just because a Tesla doesn't need an oil change, doesn't mean that they won't have wear and tear.

I’m a long time - high status customer of Enterprise … for the first time in a decade I was refused a car that was booked and confirmed weeks in advance as part of an international trip. She said they are desperate for cars and they are going to the largest customers … Could I switch days ? (Lufthansa would love that extra $3k) …
I hired a driver service who picked me up in a nice Yukon … that’s what I booked for next trip …

Here goes Turo…
Sure, Hertz could have bought a few thousand Bolts/Leafs/Niro EVs but Tesla does have status and Elon can deliver. The chip shortage has hit GM hard.

Hmmm,
Hertz tends to unload their American/Korean fleet sooner than their Toyota fleet from what I’ve seen. A friend bought a former Hertz Lexus GX460. 2018, 40K on the clock. I was driving a Cruze as an insurance loaner from HLE, it had 16K on the clock, 2019.
Back when riding Uber and Lyft was still a thing, Hertz and Enterprise grabbed their “oldest” cars that were still in good shape for their gig driver program. I’ve seen older Altimas, Sonatas, Camrys and Prii all adored with the Uber badge at the local Enterprise.
Car and Driver moaning about EVs? That's surprising, lol..
Here's the link if anyone want to read it. Unusually, the reader's comments are somewhat more sensible than the article, noting the poll at the end which extroplates 4x without foundation the range loss they claim.

Tesla is the only EV that would make sense for Hertz, because of Tesla's extensive charging network. Not to mention, people want to drive Teslas, not Bolts. When people think "EV", they think "Tesla". Last time I rented a car there was a Tesla; the attendant told me people always ask about it.
I suggest that people consider that EVs are coming whether we like it or not. Do you want America to own the EV market or China?
By the way, I am not sure mechanics are going away. There is plenty to do. Regardless, technology marches on; it always has and always will.
And there are winners and losers.

Think about what goes wrong, even on “reliable” cars. Very little is actually the engine/transmission.
Quality has more to do with how well the AC evaporator, or little plastic clips, or rubber seals, or suspension bushings last in the two or three owner real world. It doesn’t strike me that we are there yet.
You bring up a good point about brakes, my hybrid brakes don’t see much rotor or pad wear. Sometimes I have to stop hard just to get the rust off the rear rotors. But that’s not a quality issue, that’s a good thing believe it or not. Quality would be rusted brake lines or calipers that seize up easily, or bad abs electronics that throw codes often. That type of thing.
I’d agree that good tech should bring reliability. But sometimes complexity and new good tech brings bugs. Tesla’s fight against right to repair leaves me wondering…
Can you even buy a Tesla on a used car lot?
I wasn’t sure so I had to look… carmax has some relatively local to me and I found a handful on autotempest within an hour of me.
Oh, don't worry. Tax masters will not let EVs "cheat" them out of taxes for roads. There may even be a day where people charging at home will have to put EV charging power through a dedicated meter so it can be charged and taxed differently than the power going to the house use.
Of course, people with their own solar panels would probably be exempt from power company intervention.
A road tax system based on weight, axles and distance has been in use here in NZ for at least 40 years. It applies to every vehicle using public roads not powered by gasoline or LPG, the latter of which are taxed at fuel source. Diesel is not taxed at the pump. EVs have an exemption for another 2 years. You just buy the distance as needed online or at a post office or similar. The label is placed in a small holder so it's visible out the windshield.
