Telsas and Polestars are not slow cars, and it sounds like renters are driving them aggressively.

Driving a rental car - any rental car - more aggressively than your own car has been pretty typical behaviour since the beginning of rental cars.

Exactly. Only now they’re twice as fast and require you to play a video game to turn the air vents.

I mean, technically you're not supposed to be fiddling with neither radio, AC or other crap on any car, touch or not, when you're driving. All of that should be set before you start driving anywhere. If you follow the law to the letter, the only thing you should operate while driving, is what can be done from the steering wheel controls and voice control.

Of course that's now how most people actually drive their cars...
