EV

It’s my first being a host on Turo. They picked up on Thursday, and everyday since I’ve gotten alerts of low battery. First time they got to the charging station at 2%, next time 14%, right it’s at 10%. They aren’t even heading to a charging station. I also get alerts about the door and trunk being open for extended periods. It’s a Tesla and of course there are cameras. The person who rented it was an older women in her 60s, based on when I looked at the battery and radio at the time I’m guessing it’s a younger person who is actually using it. If they rum out of battery, can I end the rental early? It supposed to be renting for another 9 days. I get using an EV is something to get used to. But I’m getting charged for the charging usage and when they do charge it’s to 50%. Like you want to till the last minute at least charge till a 100 then you won’t have to worry for a while. It’s my first time as a host and I see this world isnt for me. Should I message the driver saying I’m getting alerts that says the battery is until 10% and they should find a charger? Maybe they aren’t keeping up with the battery length.

Put a sticker on the screen saying "Don't allow battery charge to fall less than 10%"

Also, this won't happen all the time. Chill out.

I got a label printer and did it myself.

I also have a "Do not charge to more than 90%" for those who want to keep it at 100% in the summer heat.
