Ouch! Resale value is an important consideration, along with reliability in all kinds of weather. I guess Hertz should have just tried a few Teslas first instead of going whole hog right from the start. It's called testing the market.

How can it be possible that cars with limited range that drops when it's too cold or extremely hot, are subject to highly variable "refueling" costs due to idiotic energy policy in the west, take at a minimum 20 minutes to recharge (which hurts the longevity of it's batteries), cost more than internal combustion variants, and have decreasing government handouts for their purchase possibly have poor resale values? I mean really!

It's always both irritating and informative of collective irrationality to head read Electrek's breathless account of the unmitigated joys and takeover! of EVs.

I guess the $10,000 credit for buying the new Tesla gets returned to market in the form of accelerating depreciation. Maybe the owners should ask Biden for a rebate forgiveness program. Or maybe a life of vehicle subsidy of $5,000 per year to make up for the depreciation.

Loving my ICE sports cars. No subsidies required.

Ayn Rand: one can ignore reality but none can ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

Have filed three FOIA applications to towns in CT to gain info on groundsource geo school installations. Only Greenwich responded- did not work. Other two deepsixed my inquiry. This

is a scam ( que-Seventy-six trombones). Do you have any relative info? LEEDS Certification never complied with, but they sure do pump it at the shovel ceremony. Thanks, Tucker
