What to Know Before Renting a Tesla Model Y or Model 3 - Cars.com

[@IVIuggle]

I'm renting a Tesla for the first time this weekend and this video was perfect for getting me familiar with the car, thanks!

[@Carscom]

Glad we could help!

[@Mabeylater293]

How did you like the car?

[@IVIuggle]

@@Mabeylater293 it's a fun ride! Definitely gets you hooked on the EV hype train

[@tiffanysnead2092]

Ditto. Thanks!

[@BriaBlessing]

Thank you for this very comprehensive video. I’m set to pick up my Tesla rental in a few hours and am super nervous, having never driven a Tesla before. Having watched (and saved) this video, I feel more prepared.

[@bradleyrex2968]

I rented a tesla from Hertz a few weeks ago. This video was very helpful. Hertz humorously provided no information about the car. When I picked it up the attendant told me I needed to bring it back with 100% charge. I explained that was impossible, and probably not true. He said oh it's 70%.

[@farodopi5170]

damn 100% 😂 that’s indeed impossible on an EV unless you are charging on the parking of the rental agency itself. Not to mention having to wait until it completes 100% which would take 1 hour or so 😂. Good luck with that. Thanks got you managed to reason him. I heard it’s 70% or 10% depending on if you take the option FPO. Actually even 70% could be problematic depending where you are and would mean you need to take an extra 20min to make sure you arrive with 70% at the agency. I think at this stage 10% is the way to go for EV. They can charge it when you return them very easily unlike a gas car. And it would save you a lot of hassle

[@bradleyrex2968]

@@farodopi5170 The Hertz facility I rented from had no chargers. At least none in the pick up your car area, and none anywhere I saw. I expected to find my car plugged in charging.

[@Brrainz]

Boy is this a to-the-point video. Excellent!

also came here to educate myself before my first Y rental. Thank you for this summary, huuuuuge help!

[@chrisroberts3963]

Love it! This video should be mandatory for first time renters. I found all this stuff out by trial and experimenting. Supercharging was fast and easy. The car handles incredible. Kids love fart mode! My daughter loves the piano app. Kids love the car.

[@cindyedstrom2765]

Thank you. We are renting a Model Y for the first time and couldn’t figure out how to lock the durn thing. Thank you for making this video.

[@Sanjuro313]

This was the best tutorial on Tesla I've come across. Thanks!

[@greyhawk5990]

Spot on instruction & explanation -the singing, was a nice touch, as well 😂

[@Bouf008]

Thank you for this video, I was inspired by it in preparing for my first trip in EV and a Tesla Model 3, a 1100 mile round trip from Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe. It was very successful.

[@yesrun]

This guy was really entertaining :) great video! Renting a Model 3 next month for the first time, this was super helpful.

[@robstravelsadventures]

I am renting a Tesla in a month and this video was great for understanding the basics of the car as well some of the key functions like mirror & steering wheel adjustment, navigation, cruise control, etc.

[@deucedaprodeuca]

Thank you sir, this is by far the most comprehensive video out. Picking a Tesla up in a few days. I saw a few videos, and I wish I saw this first.

[@jamesspencer9830]

great video for tesla basics,best i've watched,and i've watched a few!

[@istanbullet]

Great video thank you. It’s a guide before my rental in LA. I think I’m gonna adopt in a few minutes thanks to this guy

[@Carscom]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@KingDavid7]

Nicely done, Guv'Na... Spot on 👏👏👏

[@Mike-vr4lw]

Thank you great video. just rented one and I'm still learning the in and out . 😊 big help 😊

[@JBrown-go8ru]

Thanks for the video. Getting ready to rent a Model Y at Hertz.

[@coricoo_247]

Thanks so much for this video! I'm renting a Tesla and have a lot less anxiety about it🎉

[@rajendranpullat]

Very informative and useful video, thanks! Planning to rent a Tesla model Y soon!

[@johnd9031]

Good review on how to operate a Tesla.

[@chrisroberts3963]

Future video suggestion - difference between renting a Model 3/Y and owning one. Once you rent a Tesla you will want to buy one! I want to know the differences. How does the phone app function when you own? What are other differences?

[@lucky23730]

I really needed this thank you 🙏🏽

[@1kaaa]

If I have my personal Tesla app on my phone while I drive my rental Tesla, will it affect any of the devices while I’m driving the rental?

[@farodopi5170]

thanks i’m renting a Tesla (or similar so i hope it won’t be a tesla) in a month and needed some basics info since nothing can be done normally nor easily in this car. Not a big fan of the ergonomics but it is what it is. light grey font and light grey icon on white screen (who gave green light for this). super small font and icon. Menu, sub menus and sub sub sub menus everywhere and for everything including security features. I’m not sure the guys really realised that normal people (not geeks) could possibly come up to a situation where they have no other choice than rent a Tesla if they pick and EV for rental and nothing else is available? having to go through dozens of youtube videos just to understand how the thing works is just mental. Thanks man you saved me with this video

[@salahbarwari2957]

is it practical to rent a model 3 to go from San Diego to LA and back as far as charging along the way?

[@freshbrews1459]

I just rented a blue one yesterday. About to be a fun week.

[@michaelsuzio4268]

Blue Teslas look great red is even better grey/black look ok and I don't like them in white though..the one I got from Hertz a couple weeks ago was blue

[@HamRadioLiveShow]

EXCELLENT Video! This was well organized and presented. Thank you.

[@willneedwater]

Does the auto steering actually take you to your destination

[@Meme-2m2e]

Just what I needed.

[@zunar_j5_933]

Great video!

[@chrisroberts3963]

I’m renting a Model 3 right now and it is awesome!!!!

[@michaelsuzio4268]

I rented one two weeks ago drove over 100 mph for 30 seconds with it but there was too much traffic on I 10 around Biloxi/mobile to stay over 100mph

[@Sophiam5683]

Such a helpful video! Thank you very much.

[@ImLivinSD]

I am a 55 year old IT TEch and I have never had to watch a video to know how to drive a car, how it works etc. Not sure this is the car of the future. Maybe this is why they did not work out for Hertz ? So I am just curious what do you do when the RFID\Bluetooth Key Card does not work ? Does anyone else just not see how an every day key card world work better.

[@palma16boricua]

Extremely helpful video 😊

[@cfstultz1]

Very helpful - thanks.

[@mido556]

Excellent excellent descriptions and explanations… thx 🙏

[@tomstreck6874]

Please explain driving with one pedal.

[@stylore]

1:01 He fully embodied my spirit with this comment LOLOLOL

[@allenbrianc.2483]

7:43 The model three that I rented from Avis does not have that line graph button.

[@rdsklw]

So you cannot use a ChargePoint DC Fast Charger with tge adapter and a ChargePoint account?

[@bradleyrex2968]

You can charge the car any way you want. But if you go to a Telsa super charger, the car just charges and Hertz just adds the cost to your bill with no upcharge. Mine even had the 220/110v charger in it so i could charge anywhere i could plug in.

[@Valeriarupertjones]

Thank you

[@farodopi5170]

if nobody would tell you, you could never imagine that instead of just putting the card on the charging spot, the card needs to be put between the cup holders and the arm rest.

[@aliaksandrivanov3900]

Thanks bro

[@verZatile_bmotp]

Not only will the car not lock if you leave the card, but it can also be driven away. Because the card IS the key.

[@lennpenny]

Rented a Tesla in France recently.. guess what, it was in French. 😅 Had to go online again.

[@HoSway0]

Yoooooo, i just know he got a burger at his supercharger stop

[@michaelsuzio4268]

I got 2 donuts in Biloxi and beaver chips/beer at bucees in Alabama charging my rental Tesla

[@George_Shonia]

Literally on the card there is illustration where to tap the card... They thought it would be a "dumblroof" But hell no, people are dumber the Tesla thinks, they can't even look to a card itself

[@UnearnedConfidence932]

Pew pew pew! 🤣

[@cameronbigelow1718]

"Pew pew pew"

[@dece6170]

What you need to know: the creaks and rattles come standard. Autopilot will brake for no reason, this is normal for a Tesla. In the event that the car bricks for no reason and leaves you stranded, this is 100% totally a typical Tesla quality. Don't rent this garbage.
