Tesla Model X 2024

This is the second time I rent Tesla from Gordon, I have been using Turo to rent Tesla many many times from different cities, I would say Gordon is on the top of my list: 1. Very prompt communication: i have communicated with him on FSD, premium service, app access and parking, he is able to answer all my questions right away without any back and forth or delay. 2. Clean and perfect conditions of the car: this car is very clean, convenient and comfortable to drive, I am a very short person, but can handle this car with 0 problem! I highly recommend this car and their cybertruck, and will definitely come back again.

Car has a lot of minor damage but operates well. The rental fee is fair considering the minor damages.

The car was great, but it was not clean. They could have washed the car and clean the windows before they rented it out. It was a crack in the front windshield which I feel that should’ve been fixed and it was also a crack in the roof that should’ve also been explained and fixed, but overall the car was good.
