Really, because my understanding, based on an earlier Hertz president interview, was that the maintenance cost was 1/2 what their typical fleet vehicle was.

I own a 2017 Model S and the maintenance cost over these 6 years has been 1000 USD (change brake calipers at the end of year 6). For EV owners it’s definitely lower but damage collision repairs are probably more expensive.

he was probably just repeating what Musk had told him to make the sale, but of course Musk speaks only in varying degrees of B.S.
