Tesla Rental Program Launches: Rent a Tesla for Just $60 a Day

Tesla Rental Program: You Can Now Rent a Tesla for Just $60 a Day

The new Tesla Rental Program has launched, offering an accessible way for “EV skeptics” to experience the brand’s electric vehicles without a long-term commitment. With low daily rates starting at $60 a day, the Tesla Rental Program aims to win over new customers by showcasing the performance, technology, and self-driving capabilities of its lineup, especially following the end of the federal EV tax credit.

Full-Self Driving (Supervised) and Free Charging Included

The Tesla Rental Program is available at select U.S. stores (like San Diego) and allows customers to rent a vehicle for three to seven days. The base $60 rate likely applies to the cheapest Model Y or Model 3.

The program includes several significant perks designed to provide the full Tesla experience:

• Full-Self Driving (Supervised) Included: The rental includes Tesla’s Level 2 self-driving system (FSD Supervised), a feature that normally costs $8,000 to add to a new purchase.
• Free Supercharging: Charging is free for the duration of the rental at Tesla Supercharger stations.
• Unlimited Mileage: The program features unlimited mileage, though renters are restricted from driving the vehicle out of the state of rental.
• Purchase Credit: If you decide to order a new Tesla within seven days of your rental, you can receive a purchase credit of up to $250.

This Tesla Rental Program is a limited-time offer, available until December 31, 2025.

Why It Matters: A Strategy for the Post-Credit Era

The Tesla Rental Program is a strategic move to drive buyer interest in a market that has seen a sharp decline in EV sales since the federal tax credit expired in September.

Tesla is betting that the unique advantages of driving its EVs—performance, tech, and self-driving capabilities—can win over a “decent percentage of renters” and maintain the brand’s historically high loyalty. This “try before you buy” approach allows potential customers to test the EV waters without a long-term commitment, potentially helping to slow the “dramatic decline in EV market share for Tesla in America.”
