We are all very much still beta testers. We might be on Beta 2.0 or 3.0, but still in beta.

This is why Hertz etc. going full bore on EVs was a mistake. It's great to have the option for folks that ask for it, but it was terrible to foist EVs on unsuspecting rental customers. Many don't know how to adjust the seats, let alone find a charger.
