My concern with renting one (which for now would stop me from doing it), is the scarcity of charging locations. Not sure how far apart they are in most locations nowadays, or what wait times are like, but if I'm on vacation (which is when I most often rent), then no hassle is worth it. There are gas stations everywhere.

Tesla have a massive charging network of their own, plus you can use all/most of the other public charging stations. In most locations in North America, Europe, Australia as well as some Asian countries you have good access to charging infrastructure.

Tesla's navigation software will show charging locations, as well as add stops automatically if you're planning a route that's too far for the current state of charge.

Plugshare is a good site for finding chargers of all types.

When you rent a car, do you pick the type of car today? I always have, I usually see a big list of cars, where larger/more luxurious is pricier. I imagine that's what Hertz will do here. Teslas on the menu, but if you don't want to, or are driving more than 200 miles, you should just go with a Camry.

I was dubious renting a Tesla on turo in Hawaii but I think you would find that charging an electric car at the places you are staying is increasingly an option that is lower cost and less stressful than going to a gas station before going back to the airport.

I also suspect they will have lower backend operating costs and potentially cost drivers less on additional insurance since they can operate in FSD and put the liability on Tesla.

There are high power chargers pretty much everywhere too. Welcome to 2021.
