We've given plenty of friends a chance to drive, it takes maybe 30 seconds to explain the drive stalk and park brake.

The driving with regen is if anything similar to a dodgem car.

The drive stalk and the parking brake, sure. But are you explaining to them how to shift into neutral? How to turn on/off the windshield wipers? Headlights? Pairing phones to use as keys? How to use the valet card?

I have a model 3 but I forget this crap all the time. They'll need to provide decent documentation beyond the touch screen (and I'm sure they will).

Most people won’t need to touch those things. Headlights and wipers are auto by default. Neutral is needed for car washes or towing which are both abnormal situations for a rental.

And I kind of doubt they’re going to let you pair it with a phone key to the normal Tesla app like you own the car.

In fact they instruct you that you're not authorised to organise towing yourself, you have to use their emergency assist number if it needs a tow.

Hertz is poised to make a mint off the people who forget how to open the doors due to muscle memory.

Since some recent software update the mechanical door release now drops the windows a little just like the electrical one.

Huh. Audi owners have had that well, as long as they've had frameless doors.
