Questions about renting a Tesla for a Road Trip

[JasonByrne]

So I have an upcoming business trip, and I can either drive my car or rent one. I've made a reservation for a Model Y via Hertz, but have some questions.

I currently own a Model 3 LR edition, but have opted to rent a car. I have made this particular drive once already in my car, but I have questions about renting a Tesla.


Will I be able to use the Tesla app on my phone to unlock the rental Model Y?
Do I need to return the rental with the car charged to 100%?
Does Hertz keep tabs on vehicle telemetry like GPS info, speed, acceleration, etc?
How does Supercharging work? Do I sync my phone to the rental so that the supercharging sessions are charged to my personal Tesla account?
If I do pay for supercharging with my account, how do I go about setting that up?
Will my settings for things like music, etc. carry over to the rental?
Will the car have the premium data package that shows traffic patters, allows for route planning, etc?
Is there any quirk or other thing I'm missing that I need to be aware of?

Thanks for your help!

I rented a Model Y for a week-long trip and found Supercharging super easy—just plug in and it bills automatically. Autopilot helped a lot on highways, but I stayed alert.

I did this a few months back, and range anxiety was real the first day, but then it got easier. Make sure the car you rent includes free Supercharging if possible—it made a huge difference on cost. Also, if you're flying into Miami and want something smoother than renting, I’d try a chauffeur service miami instead. Some of them have Teslas, and you won’t have to worry about charging at all.
