Charging
Your best option is to use a Tesla SuperCharger. A list of locations offering this service can be found through the navigation system on the vehicle. We will bill your payment method on file for accrued charging fees at Tesla Superchargers periodically throughout your trip.
Third-party charging options can also be utilized (we include a J1772 adapter with every vehicle). We recommend using the PlugShare or ChargePoint app to locate third-party charging points.
What are some tips for charging a Tesla?
Charging
Aim to charge your Tesla to about 90% fully charged. It’s actually not ideal for the vehicle to be fully charged consistently. For this reason, your Tesla will be 80-90% charged upon pickup. You should also precondition the battery for optimal charging by navigating to a designated Super Charger. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.
