Monday I was happy because the Hertz deal meant more people in EV seats (and Tesla seats specifically ) and that is great to get relatively skeptical people used to EVs; plus it should counter the argument a bit that the 4.2 B deal doesnāt warrant a rise the market cap of more than 4.2 B. But now the deal with Uber is great in itself regarding the number of butts in seats. Hertz rents out a car a number of times per month, but the number of people traveling with an Uber per month is most likely larger. Also, it may soften up skeptical people or with a dislike for Elon/Tesla who wouldnāt elect to rent a Tesla as they are probably not going to reject their Uber ride when it shows up as a Tesla.
