Kayak, same dates, same airport (observed ~8:15 AM CT):
- All cars, cheapest-first: 261 results. Floor is gas: Chevrolet Spark or similar, EconomyBookings, $441. Hertz appears only as gas tiles. Enterprise did not appear. $441 is not a Tesla.
- Electric filter: 14 results. Cheapest EV is a Turo Tesla Model Y at $599. Cheapest non-Turo EV: supplier-choice fully electric at $708. Cheapest Tesla-specific agency-channel row: Tesla Model 3 or similar Luxury via KAYAK at $886.
- The $675 is a Turo guest total before taxes. Kayak figures are provider totals as displayed. Tax treatment is not equalized. There is no Hertz Tesla quote in this capture.
What this is not: Not a walk-up Hertz Tesla. Not Enterprise. Not the $441 gas floor. Not the $599 Kayak Turo Model Y. Not a captured listing-level fair. Not a promise $675 holds. Pickup is Schaumburg, not an on-airport garage.
