    Tesla Develops New In-Car Software for Hertz Rental Cars

    Tesla has recently developed new in-car software specifically designed for Hertz’s growing fleet of Tesla rental vehicles worldwide. In 2021, Hertz announced its commitment to electrify its rental car fleet, which included a purchase of 100,000 Tesla Model 3 vehicles. Since then, the company has also added Model Y vehicles to its order.

    Over the past few years, Hertz has been expanding its Tesla fleet, and customer satisfaction has been on the rise. Renters appreciate the ease of use that Tesla vehicles provide. Recognizing the opportunity to enhance the rental experience further, Tesla has developed software to simplify the process for renters.

    One notable feature is the ability for renters to scan a QR code displayed on the vehicle’s screen, which automatically turns their phone into the key for the duration of the rental. This eliminates the need for physical keys and provides a seamless and convenient experience. Additionally, renters who have enabled the cloud-based user profile feature will have their profile automatically uploaded to the rental car.

    Tesla’s collaboration with rental companies and law enforcement agencies to develop customized software is not a new concept. However, this recent development shows that Tesla’s plans to optimize its vehicles for various industries are coming to fruition.

    Overall, Tesla’s new in-car software for Hertz rental vehicles demonstrates the company’s commitment to enhancing the user experience and providing innovative solutions for its customers. With this development, renters can expect a seamless and technologically advanced rental experience with Hertz’s growing fleet of Tesla vehicles.
