Yeah, but they usually don’t have a lot of those things on the lot to rent. They have a butt load of Model 3s. My guess is that it’s a numbers game.

They also have a ton of data and footage to tell them what people are doing when they’re getting into accidents, and after looking at that stuff, they’re choosing to basically put these cars into a form of valet mode to limit acceleration.
