• What could you do with Hertz’s 100,000 Teslas? We did the math

  26-10-2021 18:59
  
  Tesla’s deal with car-rental giant Hertz has generated some jaw-dropping numbers. The order of 100,000 Tesla Model 3s is potentially the largest ever purchase of electric vehicles. The announcement drove Tesla’s market value beyond $1 trillion on Monday and pumped up Elon Musk’s personal wealth up by $36 billion. The tycoon is now worth an eye-watering $289 billion.
