The Tesla Model Y has been added to Hertz’s fleet of rentable electric vehicles, joining its sibling vehicle, the Model 3. Last year, Hertz ordered 100000 Model 3 vehicles from Tesla in a deal that still has yet to be completely fulfilled, but it has not stopped the rental company from offering a new all-electric body style available to customers.

Hertz has already added the vehicle to its rentable electric vehicle page, but it does not appear to be available quite yet. One is able to be booked, but no locations are currently offering the Model Y. The Model 3 is still available in seven locations: Washington’s Dulles, Florida’s Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Orlando International Airports, California’s Los Angeles and San Francisco International Airports, and Georgia’s Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport.

"Meet the newest addition to Hertz’s E.V. fleet, Model Y, and see why you should reserve one for your next adventure," Hertz says on its site. According to their projections, the vehicle will be a seven-seat configuration, offering 330 miles of all-electric range. The addition of the Model Y was first noticed by Sawyer Merritt.

The addition of the Model Y is interesting because Hertz ordered 100000 Model 3.s from Tesla last year. However, Hertz has not received its complete order as of yet. Last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had confirmed after the order that there was no special contract between the two companies, and Hertz had ordered the cars at cost from Tesla. Hertz has been regularly receiving Model 3.s since last year. In a statement to Teslarati in January, Hertz said the company is "actively receiving" deliveries for both the retail and Uber fleet operations. The rental company also told us that availability was in several U.S. markets as part of its phased national rollout.

My Take: I am waiting to see how the other major car rental companies react to this. Are they going to pile on?
