I rented an electric Zipcar recently (not a Tesla), without any previous experience of electric cars. My only problem was switching it on, which doesn't quite work like an ICE and there is some control position you need to adopt before it will let you do it. The ten minutes I spent on that were quite frustrating, since I was late and it seemed like I might not be able to get the car to work; also because Zipcar charge by the minute. But I had no problems after that.
