If using the key card it would seem that the car was giving the option for app pairing on every vehicle start. Overall a nice rental and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again particularly in a high fuel price area like Southern California. Do check before leaving and attempt to get the J1772 adapter if not in the trunk or frunk as it is supposed to be. Potentially I could have made use of some free charging but did not find the supercharger prices bad.
when you turned in the car were you able to remove the phone key? Couldn't figure out how to do that with mine, the Trash icons were all grayed out in the Locks section and was unable to remove. Tried rebooting the phone, turning off Bluetooth etc. and no luck.
