10/10 experience renting this 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance. The host was super communicative the entire time and made the whole process smooth and easy. Anytime I needed anything or had questions, he responded quickly and was very helpful. The car was amazing, clean, and exactly as described. Definitely would rent from him again!
