CAR RENTAL GIANT SIXT DECLARES TESLA TOO EXPENSIVE TO OWN AND RUN

EV Channels Review

Car rental giant SIXT has officially declared Tesla vehicles too expensive to own and operate, citing high depreciation and exorbitant running costs. This decision validates Hertz's earlier stance, highlighting a significant financial challenge for fleet operators. The reviewer criticizes Tesla's "crackpot claims" regarding the Cybertruck's capabilities on other planets, deeming them predatory and aimed at wealthy, easily misled buyers. The video also touches on aftermarket accessories for the Cybertruck, likening it to a "dystopian masturbatory fantasy." Furthermore, a recent electric truck fire in Melbourne is discussed, attributing it to a likely failure in the battery's cooling system, possibly due to an air-cooling design being insufficient for the demands of heavy-duty use, leading to thermal runaway. The overall sentiment is critical of Tesla's business practices and the practical viability of its electric vehicles in certain commercial applications.
