Kev and this Model Y nailed it -- really incredible and flawless experience all around. Kev is hyper responsive and the Model Y was perfect. Its FSD is next level. Pickup was a breeze and of note, the car was immaculate when I picked it up. Will look to rent again from Kev and this car for future rental needs.
