They emerged from bankrupcy.I wonder where Hertz got the funds? Wern't they basically bankrupt?
I'm also curious how this affects delivery timing. I looked at a Model Y and it's already estimating May for delivery -- yikes.
They articles I saw with that reference were quoting Bloomberg. For whatever reason they don't seem to paint Rivian in a positive light.The part I noticed was the headline that this was the biggest EV purchase ever. Apparently the reporter hadn’t heard of the Amazon deal with Rivian to purchase 100,000 vans.
This might change that.Rental companies don't typically keep vehicles more than a couple years, right? This may mean an influx of used inventory, in the future.

Yes and the used ones are more than the new ones, supply and demand I’m guessing…I wonder where Hertz got the funds? Wern't they basically bankrupt?

I have an offer on my 2017 X 100D with 51k miles on it.. for more than I paid for it... now if only I could get an ETA on my R1T I could sell it...Yes and the used ones are more than the new ones…
Plus they don't have to worry about the fleet appearing dated, because the Teslas never change....This might change that.
I suspect a big reason to cycle through the fleet of cars is "warranty expired" followed closely by "maintenance costs".
EV's don't have the same level of maintenance needs, so it will save them those costs upfront, and in theory, they could hold on to these vehicles longer (thus reducing the overall cost of fleet acquisition on top of maintenance).
I can see why they went Tesla as well, SuperCharger network, plus production levels (no other manufacturer is cranking them out like Tesla is right now).
Just that stupid ass yoke...Plus they don't have to worry about the fleet appearing dated, because the Teslas never change....
