Were these rentals before they started offering the QR code to setup access via the Tesla app and sync your settings? (I think their standard process resets everything to default between renters now, at least when they do it correctly.)
I was simply handed the key card (encased in a big plastic holder) and sent off to the car. No QR code setup.
I had previously made a reservation on-line for the Austin rental. To their credit, Hertz sent a bunch of emails introducing me to Teslas. FWIW, the emails said I had to return it with at least 80% charge. But when I actually rented the car, they said >70% was fine. (Visited my first Buc'ees, and Supercharged there. )
The Chicago rental was spur of the moment. There weren't any available when I made the online reservation. But when I arrived and went up to the counter, they actually had one available. They also said >70% was fine.
