In those situations where it doesn’t show up… any ideas on how to get it to appear?

First time I hear about the QR code app/rental car linkup. How does that work? I always used the key card, and yes, it really “downgrades” the standard Tesla experience with the app (or key fob, for those who have one). Many times I walked away from my rental, only to have to run back to have to lock it.

So if you then check the Sentry videos, you might see what your previous renter recorded?

Really? I must have missed that settings update in the the release notes. The animation, while cool in the beginning, is a bit of a distraction and certainly a huge waste of screen real estate. One of my early gripes about my Tesla.
