A shame because last time I was there it was clear they had invested in a fair amount of Level 2 charging for their stalls (it is Portland after all). Guess the Tesla depreciation and repairs hit them pretty hard that they have backtracked on EV's in general.
I made a reservation for a SEA rental later this month. Chose Hertz to burn my remaining points and was hoping for a Tesla. Alas the website didn’t offer any kind of EV.

Just for fun I tried SFO for the same dates, and they let me choose a “Bolt or similar” and a “Volvo C40 or similar”.

Looks like they are done with Tesla and maybe EVs in general at some locations.
