Arrived early to pick up our Tesla Model Y rental for the week. The team at this Sixt sent us to the other Sixt location at the hotel to pick it up. The hotel folks sent us to the garage but the the garage people sent us back to the hotel. Seems they were confused. But this meant my family and I had to lug out suit cases all over the place. This was the only bad part of our experience with this Sixt location. The Tesla Model Y was great, but smelled horrible. Seems previous renter smoked cigarettes in it or something. And the Sixt clean up team tried to clean it but still smelled. We had to leave the windows down in the cold for a long time to air it out while we drove. This is the second Tesla I have rented from a Sixt in Germany that smelled like cigarettes. Not a nice smell at all. The car was great. Super charging was easy to do. I was not billed for charging. I returned it at a higher state of charge so they didn’t even bill me to charge it back up. There is no premium connectivity so we used out Bluetooth connection to listen to music. Basic Autopilot worked great. They also included all the charging equipment, so was able to charge at the place we were staying using normal EU 2 prong plug. I also used public slow charging at another location. I don’t recommend doing this as that will cost more than any single super charging session. Just stick with super charging and home slow charging. Only real issue I had on return is they tried to say that I scuffed the bumper. But I had pictures from pickup to prove that it was scuffed when I picked it up. Please take lots and lots of pictures during pickup and drop off to cover yourself.

They had the vehicle we wanted, but maybe because we were doing a one way the gave us a free upgrade to a vehicle that came to them as a one-way rental. They got rid of it, and we got a larger car.
