This should have been two videos. 1) how to use/drive a Tesla 2) Hertz rental experience. All Tesla owners only want to know the experience of renting a Tesla, not how to drive a Tesla - does the app work, how to charge if you are staying at a place with NEMA 14-50 access, how does Hertz pass on the charge of Supercharging, is a charging cable included....
One note about using your credit card as “primary coverage”. Not all credit cards cover teslas. Especially Chase Sapphire Preferred which excludes them since they are “exotic”. The higher end cards like the Chase reserve and capital one venture x offers primarily coverage up to $75k. Good luck renting, it’s fun!
Thanks for sharing! We fly into MCO once or twice a year, and this time we’re definitely renting a Tesla. Was going to use Turo until I noticed the HUGE price difference with Hertz. ($430-$530 with Hertz vs $600+ on Turo with limited miles, no extended range options, etc)
I test drove both and decided that I preferred the higher profile of the Y - much easier getting in and out than a Model 3. It's also more practical with very abundant room for storage. The main issue is simply the price.
It really depends on where you charge. Tesla's supercharger seemed to be cheaper than the charge point. For like half a charge on charge point it was close to 20 dollars. For the same amount from Tesla was half of that.
I'm renting a Tesla Model Y in Denver from Hertz for an upcoming ski trip. I'm very curious about the experience. I already own a red Model Y at home, so I'm very familiar with how they work.
Now correct me if im wrong never drove a tesla but isnt the one pedal driving and regen braking different? You can turn off one pedal driving but regen braking still only happens when you break normally no?
You can set different levels of regen breaking to my knowledge but it is not just when you hit the brakes is when you take your foot off the accelerator
I'm curious if anyone knows. Let's say you want to rent a Tesla for a day. It says $101 per day, but when you get to check out it shows $400. What makes up that extra $300? And is that a deposit or do you actually have to pay that $400 for the one day rental
Two weeks ago, I rented an orange-red Mustang GT convertible, driving to L.A. from Vegas. Of course, I was driving with the top down in 100-degree summer heat, it's sweet right? Not so fast, it starts to rain in the middle of the desert..air dry...LOL. Next week, I have a Hertz reservation for a Tesla Model Y (long range) for the Fresco trip from Vegas. I am a first-time EC/ Tesla driver. Any advice to watch out for a long-range trip?
