I just wanted to say that anecdotally since I cannot see this perspective being shared here, that since Hertz started renting Telsas, I have only rented from Hertz, and only rented Teslas, and I have had nothing but positive experiences, and generally speaking have enjoyed renting these cars and felt much safer in them than I would have in the likes of the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa (or is that vice versa) type cars I have rented in the past.

That being said, I would never rent or drive for more than an in town errand, any other brand of electric vehicle that doesn't allow the use of Tesla's superchargers and it is obvious why that would be a completely egregious breach of customer service to rent such a car to an unsuspecting customer.

I am not looking forward to going back to Yaris.

Whats the experience renting a Tesla for the first time after a long flight? Are the systems intuitive (charging, info-tainment, etc) enough for a driver whose never driven one before?

I think if I was getting off a red eye flight and stumbled into a Tesla at 6:30am having never been inside one before I would probably spend 5 minutes fumbling around in the parking space and then go back inside the Hertz office complaining that I couldn't find the ignition switch and please help.

in my experience getting to the car around 1am after a really long day on a last minute trip.... I didn't really have any trouble at all and car was fully charged. Most it honestly works about how you'd expect (pull down on the stalk to engage drive etc). Had enough charge to get me through my weekend without ever having to think about it.

Honestly, its not that much worse than my prius with the goofy shifter. Knowing what to do with the keycard was confusing until the screen lit up to show me
