Robert was great, we are new to Tesla and he took the time to make us feel comfortable. The car was great, we opted for self driving which made our trip to Sacramento way less stressful. The supercharger network was a way better experience than gas stations. Robert also had every adapter needed for any charging situation. 10/10 would rent again!
We had an absolutely amazing experience renting this Tesla Model S! We took it from Tucson to Phoenix for a concert, and honestly, the car ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. The driver-assistance features were especially helpful navigating the busy freeways and confusing one-way streets in Phoenix, and made the drive so much more relaxing and enjoyable. The owner was great and made the whole experience incredibly easy. He really knew the car and took the time to make sure we were comfortable with everything before we left. We had an amazing weekend, and getting to experience the Model S made it even better. By the time we got back to Tucson, we really didn’t want to give it back!
