The other tissue with the rental companies is they sold a.ton of Inventory during covid for profit, and then bought EVs to make up for it to boost their ESG scores. Places like Turo that are allowing real fly by night places to rent cars of questionable history and quality doesn't help. I know a guy who runs a Turo, he buys wrecked cars, has them cobbled together good enough, then rents them to tourists. I wouldn't drove one of the cars, but people paying $30 a day to rent an Altima don't care if they have airbags I guess.
Anyways, yeah, this guy got shafted. They're basically like "yeah it's fucked up and wrong but we don't want to fix it".
