That is exactly why, on our trip to Nashville 2 years ago when the rental company said “Great, the mystery car you rented is an electric vehicle!” I told them it wasn’t and I would pay a bit extra because we weren’t going to deal with that crap on vacation. I got the mystery rental because it was cheaper, we don’t care what we would get, never expected an EV.
I definitely would not accept a Tesla as a rental if I’d never driven one before. There is a learning curve even just to cover the basics you’d need in a rental situation. It isn’t rocket science, but I wouldn’t want to be in a position of learning in a short term rental situation.
Did you start in Alaska?
Part of me asks because I wonder how EVs do over long distances.
Part of me asks because I was a kid in the way back of a station wagon from central Florida to Fairbanks and then Anchorage, as a ten year old. The trip of a lifetime!
Totally epic. My fam talks about that trip pretty often. Fairly sure I will hear more about it in a few weeks, when I see my siblings.
When you get through adversity together as younguns, it helps shape you for the adults you become.
