(*) I am writing this this from my hotel room in SoCal while “my” rental Tesla charges downstairs… for free.
Thanks for sharing! My first time so I wasn't familiar with this app. Will definitely use it!

Is my understanding correct that between Polestar 2 and Tesla 3, Tesla 3 is more comfortable? What connector should I filter to on Plugshare to match Polestar 2 connector? If both chargers (Polestar and Tesla) are available near me and their rental cost is basically the same, which car would be best to rent? Of course I heard about Tesla before (and was inside one before, as passenger) but it's the first time I hear about Polestar.
