I spent my first week ever with a Tesla -- here's what happened

In case you didn't know, it's now easier than ever to rent an electric car. Whether you're on vacation, you need a temporary set of wheels, or whatever other reason you may have to pick up a rental, you don't have to rely on the internal combustion engine. That's exactly what I did during my recent vacation, a ten-day trip to Orlando, Florida. Normally I drive a Nissan Leaf, a small but serviceable electric car, and the prospect of switching to a combustion engine vehicle didn't really appeal. Least of all because I was booking this trip around the time gasoline prices were at record highs.
