>Tesla has an 8-year, 100,000 mile warranty on its battery packs, and there’s still a good bit of that battery warranty remaining on this particular car, assuming Tesla will honor it on a used rental car.
This feels like a load-bearing assumption that makes or breaks the thesis of the article that deserves more than being an assumption.
The model 3 warranty on Tesla's website does say that it covers ownership transfer, but who knows what language is in the Hertz purchase agreement.
- sbuttgereit 2y agoWell... the article goes on to say pretty much at the end... "For what it’s worth, there are a ton of used Teslas on the Hertz Car Sales site, but anything priced this cheaply shows well over six digits on the odometer, and isn’t nearly as appealing. It’s unclear if this Redditor just got a particularly good deal, or if Hertz is just trying to sell everything not nailed down before the end of the calendar year." I mean, if this is what the article is predicated on... seems weakly reported, lets just say.
- jsjohnst 2y agoIt’s Jalopnik, it’s basically guaranteed to be poorly sourced and usually not supported with more evidence than a single tweet or Reddit post. Half the article is a ramble about the author never actually trying a Tesla.
- antisthenes 2y agoThere are only 9 Teslas on the Hertz Car Sales website as of today. Compared to over 7,000 Toyotas. And the Teslas aren't particularly aggressively priced. Which makes me question the validity of this entire article.
