How it works
Nothing here needs the two of you to meet, and nothing needs your guest to install anything. This is the whole path.
Pick the car, the window, and what you want back: charge floor, miles included, speed cap, allowed area. Set once per car and it applies to every rental of it.
A short message naming you and the car, with one link. It says plainly that opening it is optional — ignore it and nothing happens.
When it starts, when it ends, the charge to bring it back at, and the mileage. Before any setup, before any permission.
The consent screen lists exactly what the car reports to you, in plain words, with the driving score switchable off. Declining ends it there.
We ask if they're at the car. Only someone who says no gets a map, and it's satellite — a guest hunting a garage needs to see the garage, not a street diagram.
One tap. Then lock, frunk, trunk, climate and first-row seat heaters, straight from the page.
It makes their phone a real key that unlocks as they walk up and works over Bluetooth with no signal. They scan a code on the car's screen. Optional, always.
If they skip, we ask whether you left a key card and explain how to use it. With neither, we tell them plainly that a dead zone means no entry.
The car reports on itself. You set the thresholds per vehicle, and your guest was told all of it up front.
Every trip, with over-limit stretches marked and event pins where something happened.
Speeding, hard braking, a possible impact, battery floor, the alarm. Your numbers, not ours.
Speed cap, valet mode, PIN to drive, charge limit, allowed area. Tesla's own floor is 50 mph and we say so rather than quietly adjusting your number.
The link stops opening the car within seconds. One driver's code can be killed without ending the rental.
Near the end of the window, with the drop-off spot and the charge you asked for.
Plus space number, level and gate code if you set them, and your parking note.
If they're still driving toward the drop-off when the window closes, we extend it rather than mark them late, and tell you both.
Windows, frunk, trunk and doors read live. Windows and the trunk close remotely; the frunk can't on any Tesla but a Cybertruck, so we tell them to shut it by hand.
Against what you asked for, with any overage stated plainly. Below the floor doesn't block the return — a stranded guest helps nobody — but you see it.
Tesla app access is removed first, then the lock goes out, and the trip only closes once the car confirms. If it never confirms, the trip stays open and they're told.
