"For as low as $60 per day, clients who rent an EV directly from Tesla will get unlimited mileage, free charging at the company's Superchargers, the so-called Full Self-Driving (Supervised) advanced driver assistance suite, and access to the Tesla smartphone app. That $60/day rate applies to the Model Y and Model 3, but customers can also rent a Cybertruck for $75/day or a Model S or Model X for $90/day."
"It's an interesting approach to try and boost sales, as the first month without the $7,500 federal tax credit for new EVs revealed most automakers had significant drops in sales. Despite being the biggest player in the industry, Tesla is not immune to the effects caused by the tax credit's cancellation. While sales in the United States went up 7.5% in the third quarter, Tesla's year-to-date figures are less rosy, with a 4.3% drop in deliveries, according to data from Cox Automotive."
Tesla is piloting a direct-to-customer EV rental program offering Premium trims for short-term rentals. Rates start at $60/day for Model 3 and Model Y, $75/day for Cybertruck, and $90/day for Model S and Model X. Rentals come with unlimited mileage, free Supercharging, supervised Full Self-Driving access, and Tesla app access. Minimum rental duration is three days with the first 48 hours free; maximum duration is seven days. Only Premium trims are available to rent; base Standard and high-performance Performance or Plaid trims require a regular test drive. The program targets potential buyers amid federal tax credit changes and shifting sales.
