If I was a competitor, maybe a new ad campaign...

Hertz may put you in the driver’s seat but we get you where you’re going.

The problem with a used EV is that it is not a used car. It is a used battery.

The nice thing about these stupid EVs is that you could maybe cannibalize the motors from them, attach them to a water wheel, and generate some electricity.

Yes and we like to point out the problems and government tyrant over EV’s.

But note the headline. Ever since Elon Musk began to advocate for Free Speech and other common sense principles...

It has become open season not in EV’s but on Tesla.

At first they were overt, quoting democrats saying they didn’t want to be seen in a Tesla.

Now very article about Elon and his cars and his other companies, has become a hit piece. The left wing media will even acknowledge the dangers of Teslas but only Teslas.

EV tires replaced at less than 20,000 miles.
Battery life is questionable.
If it fails after 2 years, ouch! 4-8K for a replacement?
Glorified golf carts.
Nothing more..

He probably tried - he's gotten his money. The board likely asked him to stay until some sucker his replacement starts.

Better yet a picture of a burning Tesla with the wording, “I never met a battery that I liked”

When you return the EV and it’s not fully charged do they make you wait around until it’s charged and charge you for the extra time , LOL

Big deal. I’m sure the CEO has a nice golden parachute.

It didn’t take much due diligence for me to figure out that a 950 mile trip that would normally take 14 hours would require an additional 28 hours if I were to rent a 2023 Chevy Bolt.

“If it fails after 2 years, ouch! 4-8K for a replacement?”

All EV powertrain batteries have at least an 8 year warranty and they cost a lot more than 4-8K when they finally do fail.
