While rental giant Hertz is still reeling from its bad investment in 100,000 Tesla rentals at the peak of their pricing, Uber has now partnered with BYD for the same amount of electric cars. Tesla's biggest competitor BYD will provide 100,000 EVs to the global Uber fleet at "best-in-class pricing...

Uber orders 100,000 BYD electric cars as Hertz is selling more Teslas on the cheap

According to a recent tweet by Tesla citing Consumer Reports, it has been reiterated that Teslas are the least expensive to maintain long term, ranking at the very top.
