[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 4201763, member: 50724"] I sure would not want to buy a Tesla that was a prior Hertz rental; would not want an ICE car from them, or any other rental company either. We bought a new Tesla Model Y, long-range in February 2023. Quality-wise, the fit and finish on it are beneath our V8 Lexus SUV (125K miles) and V6 Toyota Sienna (190K miles). Our Tesla has almost 20K miles on it and has not given us one bit of trouble in 11 months of ownership. An EV can be a great option in a relatively warm area, but with trip planning and adequate charging infrastructure, they'd be fine in a cold area also. A garage to charge at home is a definite plus! Per this article, Norway and Iceland recently have the 1st, and 2nd highest percentage of EV/total vehicle sales in the world.

It might not have been the best value, but it sure is fun to drive! Out of that 20K miles, about 6K was for a trip to TX, one to OK/KS, and one to Commiefornia.
