I'm not sure that should be a problem so long as they are returned. I don't know the exact turn-around times for rental car companies but you can charge a Model 3 to full in 5 hours or so with a 240. Though I think another issue could be wear and tear on the battery as you're not supposed to charge to full - can rental companies software lock the charge rate? Not yet as far as I know.

  No I mean you can charge your battery to 100% but it degrades the physical battery over time. I think this looks to be a separate issue affecting cars made in 2016. "Only Model S and Model X vehicles with 85 kWh battery packs, which were discontinued in 2016, seem to be affected at that point."

These cars are probably going to use the cheaper iron based batteries which are fine to charge to 100%.
