- mschuster91 3y ago... if you find a buyer for them which is the real problem. Not many people want to drive a car that has been used as a short-term rental, because they're a guarantee for needing a replacement clutch and engine at least. People drive rental cars like shit, and it shows up everywhere.
- Spooky23 3y agoThey sell pretty quickly. They price a little bit lower than normal cars. People need cars, and don’t have cash.

Battery health would be the only real concern, I suppose, and that hasn't proven to be an issue so far.
- jandrese 3y agoFrom what I've seen the most desirable vehicles on used car lots are former rentals. Maybe slightly behind cars that fell off of a lease. There's always the stories about people who rent cars so they can thrash them in street races or whatnot, but really most rentals are for businesspeople who need to get around a city for a bit. The companies usually try to keep up on the basic maintenance items as well, which is not always the case for used cars. You get a fairly new car with higher than average but not crazy miles for a decent price. These Teslas should also qualify for the $4000 used EV tax credit as well, which could make them quite an affordable option.
