Had another quick Tesla M3 rental at LAX. Once again received LR model, with about 8500 miles and 70% charge when I picked it up. Glove box was pin-locked (perhaps by a previous customer?), but otherwise it was not restricted. This time there was no mobile charger kit in the vehicle, but a J1772 adapter was found in the sub trunk (in what looked like 3rd party packaging, so maybe Hertz is replacing missing OEM parts with alternative adapters?)

The driver side window wasn’t tightly sealed resulting in a lot of wind noise. We noticed the same issue on the passenger side of our previous rental. Perhaps damage from previous renters repeatedly opening the doors with the emergency handles instead of buttons?

Also noticed that the two side cameras were not functional, and the passenger seat couldn’t be moved forward or backward.
