Same source that told you TSLA is going to zero?

Those sources. And apparently anyone who has ever worked there by all the bad press they get about their working conditions.

https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ailed-promises
https://www.washingtonpost.com/techn...plant-firings/
https://observer.com/2020/10/elon-mu...-profits-soar/

That whole list is pretty problematic.

You would think for being a sweatshop their cars would get made better.

The list is based on a survey of engineering students, asking what companies they are "interested in". It's literally a list of "which company have you heard of or seen at a job fair recently".

I imagine you would get a similar type list from finance students who all say they want to be investment bankers when they graduate

I’ve heard they all treat their analysts the bestest

Yeah it's the equivalent of asking first-graders what they want to be when they grow up. We're going to have a surplus of astronauts and firefighters.

I didn’t believe their valuation then and I don’t believe it now. But in any case I don’t stnk, and I certainly don’t stnk in companies with Tesla’s level of irrationality. I can live with leaving money on the table staying out of that game.

I certainly cant get my head around the valuation either. I went through the analyst call and a lot of the claims are hard to reconcile. For example, in the call Musk states: “we do think that we can maintain a growth rate in excess of 50% per year for many years to come.” When I looked at Tesla’s recent CAGRs (compounded annual growth rates) they are, last 5 years – 33.8%, most recent 3 years – 13.7%, so the actual growth rate in the automotive business has actually slowed.

Tesla just landed an order for 100k cars from Hertz.

Hertz also signed Tom Brady to be their electric car initiative spokes person.

Stock is at ATH at around $950

My question is what are the other rental companies going to do?

[ExtraSlow]

I think we see initiatives like this in the USA long before they are widespread in Canada. Probably will become "a thing" most places, although my contact at Calgary's largest rental fleet says his company has no plans for near-term.
Fascinated to see what retail rental pricing looks like compared to ICE vehicles from rental fleets.

[taemo]

was wondering why TSLA was up pre-market before these were announced.

will be interesting to see what other rentals will do, don't think they have any other alternatives other than also order some TSLAs

I’m fascinated to see how many are out of electricity on the side of the road cause “this car can do 500mi and I only did 350mi” smrt renters and how the companies are going to deal with retrieving their cars

Would assume will be in line of other vehicles in the $50-$60k range and probably add a energy surcharge/handling fee if charged at Supercharger.

EA/EC is a total shit show. Supercharger is the only way to go in simplicity. The question is, will they need to do a explainer/training to every renter before letting them off the lot?

How much will hertz charge you if you return it below 100% charged?

This is the first thing I thought of too. Plus hotels will have to increase charging infrastructure at an accelerated pace, etc etc. I'm sure people smarter than me have put a lot of brain power into this, but it seems like it has too much risk to be the seamless experience people will expect.

It will be a niche rental. Probably for places that have massive supercharger infrastructure (California) already. Target market will likely be existing Tesla owners.

Gonna be a pricey rental considering what it costs to rent a “luxury” 320i lol

You'll probably need to teach them how to use the Supercharger, especially if they've never seen one. Maybe there's a preset where if the car detects x range, it automatically maps the car to the nearest charging station within range?

[supe]

Elon tweeted that any existing Tesla owners will have their profile follow them so hop in the rental and everything gets set back to your settings, pretty neat.

Here is another Hertz ad.

TSLA finished the day up over 12% and the stock at $1024, I agree with Brady, Lets GO

I bet if you don't have a Tesla profile, you have to built one with CC info.

After that it's pretty simple, enter destination of every place that you go and it'll tell you if you need to drop by a Supercharger.

Probably coming in "2 weeks" lol.

I'd be happy if my presets would travel with my phone between cars I own, let alone a rental.
