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 was great. It would be good if the upfront communication included more detailed location of the car (which lot) - to make it easier for travelers to plan.

Before I get to the amazing car, I have to mention how attentive, responsive and reliable the host was. I received quality and timely updates, responses and messages throughout the entire process. The vehicle I rented was the Corvette Stingray. It was clean inside and outside. Everything was in proper working condition. To say it’s a “head-turner” in traffic would be an understatement. Something for travelers to consider is, if you bring luggage larger than a carryon or backpack, vehicle storage space is of consideration. All in all, I had a stellar experience throughout my time in the car. I would definitely rent this vehicle again, and recommend this experience
