Congrats. This coming from a non-Tesla owner so maybe get confirmation from a Tesla person. Just make sure you get the Tesla app all fired up and connected to a credit card before you take off.
And set your destination before you leave to a Tesla charger 1/2 thru your journey. I rented (Turo) a Model Y abut 18 months ago and at that time, the nav software wouldn't do multiple stops. It might now. If it does, enter the full route (charger and home).
Charging really is a no brainer. If in doubt watch a You Tube video and you'll be all set.
He should already have the tesla app. He can't complete the purchase without it. You can't do all of the prelim paper work without the app.
Teslas are one of the easiest cars to purchase. No dealing with dealers. Everything is on the app. Have a question? Just test the advisor number that texted you. They will respond eventually.
Tesla needs to come out with some new designs. The model S has looked the same since when, 2012 I think? Even the Model 3 is starting to look a little long in the tooth to me.
Porsche is another auto company that keeps designs for a long time and their customers like the consistency.

Porsche is a niche brand for sports car enthusiast and low volume. But Porsche was actually up for sale at one point. They were losing customers because they didn't have a diverse product lineup until recent they are going to be 50% electric.

Used to be, particularly for the US market. Last year over 80% of Porsches sold were sedans, station wagons, and SUVs.
Porsche sale was one of those brilliant financial moves. They weren't really up for sale. It was just part of the VW-Porsche short squeeze. Porsche owned 30% of VW and executed a short squeeze sending the price of VW from $200 a share to $900 a share. Then they bought Porsche from themselves with the proceeds. End goal was about the same as what both VW and Porsche corporate wanted which was the two companies to merge. Just instead of a bunch of cash needing to come out of the company coffers to buyout shareholders at a premium they got a big fat injection of cash instead from all the people who got squeezed on their short positions.

I read that Porsche approached Toyota about buying them. Which was odd, but it did fell through. Eventually VWAG did push them to diversify their lineup from just Boxster and 911.
VW bought porsche in 2011. Both companies wanted the merger for a long time, Cayenne for example the entire process was always a VW-Porsche joint effort, not just like a BMW-Toyota where BMW builds Toyota a car at a BMW factory and Toyota does the styling ala the BMW Supra either. The two companies actually codeveloped the vehicle from the ground up together as they were already looking at merging back then.
Mid '90s Porsche hired Japanese consultants, bunch of former Toyota engineers, to teach them how to build cars though, which might be what you're thinking of.
