hertz

According to reports, American car rental giant Hertz has started selling used Tesla on its website, with approximately 518 units currently on sale, including approximately 455 Model 3 units and the remaining Model Y. The lowest priced is a 2021 pure Model 3 standard range version, which has traveled 86929 miles and is priced at $20700 (approximately RMB 148500); The cheapest Model Y is a 2022 long-range version that has traveled 85490 miles and is priced at $31100; Most of these vehicles are still covered by Tesla's official battery warranty.

The reason for the sale of Tesla's fleet is also quite surprising. Although electric vehicles have lower operating costs, maintenance costs are high.

At the Q3 earnings conference call, Hertz announced its intention to reduce its electric vehicle fleet, especially Tesla, as electric vehicles have higher collision and damage repair costs compared to traditional cars, affecting Q3 performance and negatively impacting profits. A previous study by American automotive news website Automotive News showed that the average repair cost for Tesla cars in the United States is about 40641 yuan, which is about $1347 more than gasoline cars.READ MORE!!
