One night stay, by the river, in a suburb of Verona.

Our host, Ariana, helped us reset our booking, since we’d somehow picked the wrong date in Booking.com. We squeezed into possibly the smallest lift we’ve ever seen. Fortunately, we had grabbed only our next day’s clothes from our large suitcases, in the back of the Tesla.

Breakfast included, which was delightful, along with interaction with friendly staff and a three generation Italian family of guests.

On our drive here from Lake Como, we stopped at a shopping center along the highway. It’s amazingly just like the ones at home in Australia, except, of course, everything is in Italian.

The Tesla Autopilot driver monitoring is over cautious. Even with my hands on the wheel and eyes ahead, it often complains that I’m not paying attention, until I wiggle the steering. On this trip, it counted three strikes and disabled Autopilot until I parked 🖕.

Charging:

The shopping center has Tesla Superchargers. We arrived with about 8% and just plugged in while we had lunch.

Normally, my Tesla app would notify me of progress, or any issues. Unfortunately, the UFODRIVE rental doesn’t give us access through the Tesla app, and the UFODrive app doesn’t give us any remote info. So, when I checked back at the car expecting near 100%, it had stopped at 80%, with the option to increase it. Annoying. I still had to finish lunch, so I adjusted it and went back inside.
