Hi,
It appears the *real* reason is that Tesla controls are *not* familiar to the average rental car user (but blaming it on EVs). When I got in mine initially (no help from dealer 20-somethings) with the controls stirred around and most everything is done through a laptop screen, I had to go to a Tesla friend who spent 2 hours with me - something the rental car company *won't* do. All controls must be in standard locations for a rental to work! Think Toyota Corolla. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/after-bad-bet-electric-vehicl es-hertz-selling-low-mileage-2023-teslas-less After the 2 hour learning curve, it's been the *best* EV I've owned, 108K trouble-free miles so far (Tesla-Y 2021). Driven up/down least coast, Florida & Canada. Have a renewable energy day, Mark Mark E.
