Very clean Vechilce! He wasn't a Turo scam! He was excellent and walked me through the whole process. One thing I would suggest is having an attachment piece to charge the car anywhere and pay as you go, rather than waiting to drive to another Tesla charging station Overall, he's definitely an amazing Turo rental guy. Amazing!
