WE RENTED THIS ELECTRIC CAR IN LA!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer rented a Tesla Model 3 Long Range in Los Angeles, noting it as a pleasant and quiet driving experience compared to older models. Key positives include improved fit and finish, better camera integration for parking, and the convenience of Supercharging billing through Hertz's corporate account. However, criticisms were raised regarding the car's dirty condition upon pickup and the autopilot's late braking and tendency to hug the left side of the lane. The reviewer also highlighted that the rental unit lacked Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta, offering only Enhanced Autopilot, and noted the unusual auto-lock behavior for a rental fleet. Despite minor gripes, the rental process through Hertz was described as simple and easy, with the Long Range Dual Motor variant offering ample performance.
