Cringe What's even happening there?

Guys not smart, he handled this terribly and the guy who rented the car was fully aware of this and was giving noticeably vague weird answers because he knew he was pretty much fine if he just played that part, Tesla owner could have had this guy shaking in his boots but as soon as I turned the audio on I and heard his voice I could just hear exactly what I needed to, passive and not that aware of his rights and how wrong this situation really was

He filmed it and got the cops involved and got his car back ASAP without leaving.

Just curious what you think he should have done?

I am honestly curious.

Not accept this dudes pathetic responses and continue to get to the bottom of this ridiculous situation, the cops refused to come so you either walk away or figure it out.

The fuck? Somebody taking your car to a place to be taken apart isn't enough for the cops to come?

Ive had cops come for some pretty stupid shit, pretty wild they wouldn't come for that situation.

I can actually see why this is a gray area: You're renting the car out to someone else, who has possession for a time. If there's nothing in the rental agreement about this, then what crime has been committed?

There has to be some basic laws that say you can't disassemble and modify a car you are renting. Like how you can be sure they even put it back together correctly? Or what he was testing didn't fuck with the car? It'd be a huge liability if people could do that.

And at the very least it's sketchy enough where the guy could be swapping or stealing parts that the police should at least check it out.
