November 10-11. After surviving the long flight back from Europe two days ago, I hopped…

…back on a plane, from Melbourne to Sydney. Crazy, right!

At Sydney Airport, I rented a Tesla Model 3, similar to ours, for a couple of days. Pretty seamless process, except for the web page directions to find the pick up spot at the airport.

I could add my own profile to the in car list of drivers, and manually adjust to my preferred settings (such as seat position). But they didn’t give me access to connect my iPhone’s Tesla app. I increasingly missed the app connect features such as automatic lock/unlock and remote climate control. I had to tap the Tesla card to get into the car each time, like a Neanderthal 😉.

Out of all the portals through which I could rent it, it turned out to be cheapest to rent through the Uber app, which now also lists car rentals. Go figure.

Charging:

I plugged into a Tesla supercharger before returning it. Automatically billed to the rental company, who then added it to my invoice. Easy. And no need to return it with a 100% full tank, like with petrol cars.
