For those of us who get different cars maybe every 18-22 years...
Having a non-distracted pre-delivery inspection and feature tutorial can be very helpful essential, but rare. Lots of things can change over the years.

It took me a long time to figure out how to open the gas filler door on the Kia Soul I rented about 5 years ago. There are many potential ways to waste a lot of time on unfamiliar transportation devices!
One of my favorite grade school teachers had a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix. Huge land yacht! It had door handles with no obvious grips. How to open it? It turns out, one had to use one's thumb to push on the end part of the handle, then the longer lever part would pivot out and give one a place for fingers to grab and swing it out enough to disengage the door catch.
I have no idea what one would do for a Tesla and similar things now that have completely flush door handles if the remote dies or there's something wrong with the electrical system and one needs to get inside...
Cheers,
Scott.
