An hour or two? Noone is hanging out around superchargers for that long if they don't already want to be there.

- gjsman-1000 3y agoSure, if you buy a new Tesla, it's pretty good now. But not everyone can afford a new EV. If you buy almost any EV on the used market, such as a used Tesla...
- brianwawok 3y agoA used 3 or Y will charge just fine. 15-20 minutes should cover most cases.
- _ea1k 3y agoThat still wouldn't be true for a used Tesla. Most used sales are Model 3 or Y. Both charge really well. Even older used Model S or X are more like 30 minutes than 2 hours, especially if the location is bad and you'd rather get to the next one.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoYou might be if you need to return the car at 100%, the last few percent of battery takes forever to charge due to chemistry. I don't know what Hertz requires, but returning it at 100% is stupid. It's hard on the battery and takes forever. Charging to 80% takes a lot less time and is easier on the battery, so hopefully that's all that Hertz requires. Edit: a different commenter says you need to return at 75%. That's reasonable.
- _ea1k 3y agoYeah, and tbh, I'm hearing that their return fees are actually pretty reasonable. If you can return at less than 75% for only $25, just do that. Supercharging isn't particularly cheap anyway, so you can't save that much money with a long wait.
