I don't think "2 years" is valid anymore. It seems like the rental companies are hanging onto their cars for closer to 5 years, now.

This would also link into their "extra damage" problem.

I mean the Hertz/Tesla deal only started end of 2021 [1] and less than half of the ordered fleet was available by end of 2022 [2].

It’s kind of disappointing if they are getting noticeably beat up after a year.
