1. $37,100 Tesla with a free one hour dealership test drive.

2. $35,000 Tesla plus a $100 rental payment for a 24 hour test drive.

You honestly prefer the first option?

If you want to try a bunch of cars since you are undecided you might pay extra compared to now, since other brands won’t give you a discount and you still paid for the Tesla test drive.

If there's a 5% chance you'll buy a Tesla, the math still adds up to where you're better off spending $100 to test drive it over a free test drive and paying $2100 more for the car.
