abc.net.au/news/rented-a-tesla-for-a-month-experience-730/102833718My wife and I decided to rent a Tesla on a visit to Canada last month. A major car rental company was renting them for about one-third the cost of a petrol car. We figured, how different could it be?The anxiety over our car choice started to build six weeks before our trip. An email from the rental company popped into my inbox.

Not the Tesla. You have to go through the screen, find "mirrors", choose left and right and use this ball toggle thingy on the steering wheel to make adjustments. In fact, aside from the big screen, the dash has nothing on it at all. I can only surmise this is some sort of "Tech Bro" design aesthetic. So clean it reveals nothing about operating the car.
It has Automatic Emergency Braking as a default setting. If it determines a car turning across traffic in front of you is too close, it brakes on its own. The car just takes over. You can disable this – but again, you have to go into the settings.
