I highly recommend using Sof if you are looking to rent a Tesla on the central coast! He was so helpful through the entire booking and rental process. We really appreciated that he took the time to explain the car to us at pickup, as we had not driven a Tesla before. The car was clean and just as pictured in his listing. Thank you, Sof!

Turo was a new rental experience for me, as was the opportunity to rent a nice Tesla Cybertruck. Both were very positive experiences. Sofiaan was a very communicative host and took steps to ensure that the Cybertruck was quickly attached to my Tesla account for a wonderful driving experience around the Paso Robles wine country. Looking forward to my next Turo experience, Hopefully Sofiaan's vehicle will be available then. Thanks, Sofiaan!

We rented a Cybertruck from Sof for 3 days and had a fantastic experience — thanks to an outstanding host! Sof was incredibly responsive and very flexible with our schedule changes. He provided excellent pre-rental information and, at pickup, gave us a thorough and helpful overview of how the Cybertruck works, which made driving it easy and enjoyable right away.The truck was in great condition overall, with a spotless interior, and it performed really well throughout the trip. Sof clearly cares about his guests and does everything right. Highly recommend renting from him — we would definitely book again! Thank you, Sof!

Everything was better than we expected! The car was clean and in good shape. Sof was very communicative and helpful at pickup, during our trip with a few questions, as well as around drop off. I had only used turo one time before and I had lots of questions - Sof was patient and helpful throughout. He made it an overall very good experience for our family!
