Tesla Model Y 2024

I recently rented a 2024 Tesla equipped with Full Self Driving (FSD) from Moe through Turo. This was my first experience with Tesla’s autonomous driving technology, specifically software version 14.3, which includes Grok integration. The system performed impressively and made my trip to Washington, D.C., far more enjoyable and relaxing than I had expected. I am now seriously considering the purchase of a vehicle with this capability. The car was in outstanding condition, immaculately clean throughout and with a flawless exterior. Moe was an exceptionally accommodating host. He personally delivered the vehicle to my hotel, took the time to thoroughly explain all features including FSD, and maintained prompt, helpful communication by text before, during, and at the conclusion of the rental. Every question and request was addressed with professionalism and care. I highly recommend both Moe and this vehicle to anyone seeking a first class Turo experience or wishing to explore advanced Tesla technology. Moe is an outstanding host, and the rental exceeded expectations in every respect.

I had the pleasure of renting Victor’s Tesla Model 3 for 90 days, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Victor is a top-tier host—friendly, dependable, and always quick to help if needed. He made the whole process stress-free, which is rare for such a long rental. The Tesla was amazing—smooth, fun to drive, and incredibly well maintained. Whether it was daily commutes or longer trips, the car performed flawlessly and made every drive enjoyable. It was clear that Victor keeps his car in excellent condition and truly cares about his guests having a great time. After three months, I can confidently say this was one of the best car rental experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a great host and a fantastic Tesla, Victor is the person to book with.

I highly recommend Mickey and his Tesla (although I needed some time to figure out a few extra options before I operated it) and would love to rent from him again on my next trip to DC!
