I have rented several EV's from Enterprise and it was never required to return it with a charge. I heard that Hertz was unloading all of their Teslas due to the complications and costs to repair.

They aren't getting rid of Teslas and state they will still buy more, but they won't be a quarter of their fleet due to the increased cost compared to ICE vehicles for repairs.I have rented several EV's from Enterprise and it was never required to return it with a charge.

I heard they were decreasing purchases because Tesla dropped the prices, which depressed what Hertz can get on used vehicle sales.They aren't getting rid of Teslas and state they will still buy more, but they won't be a quarter of their fleet due to the increased cost compared to ICE vehicles for repairs.

The Supercharger in Revere is actually pretty close to Logan - about 1. 5 miles north? But obviously it's not directly off the Mass Pike, so you need to give some extra effort to get there (assuming you're not coming in from that direction anyway).From the same page:
Well that's annoying. Hopefully there's a super charger near Logan airport? Looks like the closest one is in Revere.
Ahh Ravier! I used to date a girl from Ravier! lol I ended up not needing to use it as I just paid the fee for them to charge it up when I returned it.Supercharger in Revere

Hertz is scaling back its EV ambitions because its Teslas keep getting damaged
Uber drivers are damaging their Teslas.www.theverge.com
Rideshare users may be harder on the car and battery. They load and unload luggage more than the average driver, scaping up the bumpers, etc. I noticed the Y I rented showed a lot of scrapes on the rear bumper. They also are more likely to Supercharge above 90% so they can limit the number of times they stop.The rideshare part was interesting. I wouldn't have thought they would be any harder on the vehicles than a typical renter.
I’ve rented from Sixt in Phoenix several times. The last time, a couple months ago, they were offering an upgrade to a BMWX3 for only $25 more per day. I declined, the woman in the line next to me accepted. We ran into each other again in the lot, each of us loading their carry on into a BMW X3.There is a Car Rental Company in Europe called Sixt that is cutting down on the number of Teslas in their fleet for some of the same reasons.

I had that happen too a few years back, and all they had left was a stinkin Hummer !It was kind of funny, when I rented from Hertz I choose a full size sedan. During pickup offered to "upgrade" me to a full size SUV at no chargew, which I had zero interest in driving in the city, so I declined. They continued to offer me the SUV throughout the process, which I continued to decline. Eventually they admitted that they had over promised their sedans. I was forced to accept the SUV or to grab an Uber
In my case the QR code was there but the connection process didn't work. Maybe it hit a bug because I tried to connect both of our phones.....Soooo you've taken rental of a car with no QR code and on their website Hertz says ALL rentals now offer Digital Key (Which uses the QR fleet system). If you are still at the rental car center and the car does not have a QR visible on the screen, before you take possession of the car find a representative and inform them they need to reset the car, and erase previous owner (Renter) data. If you are in the middle of a rental you will have to do what I went through yesterday.
Step 1. Exit the car. Lock the car with the key card. Very important, the car cannot have any passengers inside, and has to be locked! Make sure you are not paired/bluetooth is not on, on your phone, else you will need to be out of bluetooth range of the car (30ft).
