just a heads up there is a bunch of people renting cars on turo esp teslas and they swap the parts out with aftermarket or broken parts. they do it alot with bumpers. Another thing people do is rent teslas to go street race them and hoon in them to make youtube videos. I actually watch 2 people who make a living off renting turo cars in up state and hooning around speeding and driving wild for content. Also keep an eye on the gps and make sure it never ends up at automotive shops because ive seen people get busted in the act swapping out oem parts with cheap aftermarket parts.

The car damage alone was nuts, like how did he manage to not see the car was missing the wheel covers until he got home? I am surprised the guy even paid since he drove it out of the pickup area and didn’t make a claim until he arrived to his own house. Not to mention the car wash, between the cost of materials and the time spent a paid car wash is the way to go, time is money, and $7 is worth the time. I get that he was trying to get reviews, but you can do that while still being an economical rental, but not so cheap that you are losing money, he said it himself, he wasn’t able to work for Amazon having to do all the car stuff.

You're going to want to take that in and get it up on a lift. There could be significant undercarriage damage that you can't see yet.

It's basically a phone with wheels. Those wheels will never be the same. Charge them for the replacement of 4 wheels.

You can making six figures on Turo you have to maximize how you’re doing everything. You need to charge $70-100 bucks for delivery fee if you have to drop it off. So that pays for the Uber right back and you might have a little money left over. Always take a picture of the dash on the car so you got the miles & gas range. If they don’t charge it, they have to pay you the money for it or if they did pay for a charge, they have to pay you as well report it to Turo asap to get reimbursed every time. Also looks like the best Turo plan is choosing the 75 plan for your self to get paid and the stuff comes with it. Also you should invest into a car wash membership for the Tesla for like 10-15 bucks a month then you can wash the car real fast. Not have to worry about it. I’ve been watching a ton of Turo videos to learn about this platform and tricks and tips to maximum profits. Make sure you do the same. It will help you a lot. I am planning to do it myself next year. 🎉

When I thought about it there wasn't one moment he did a friend thing. Like give you a lift, borrow something, lend you money if he ever did anything he always wanted something in return. If we went out I had to pay for everything. Then when I cut him out of my life he tried to get me beat up but it didn't go the way he thought it would. This guy is working hard for what he has keep it up.

The charger dead pins is a common issue. It often breaks and gets stuck in the charger connectors. Tesla does ‘Goodwill service’ on it and there was a service recall on it. Reach out to SC and they will replace the dead-pins

Not sure what's so funny about all the damage and who the hell rents a Midsize Luxury Sedan for the same price as a cheap two door hatchback ? This is exactly why you got a renter like that. You didn't approach this as a serious business model and in return you didn't get a serious renter.

Those wheels were swapped, not the original turbine wheels from the before pictures and fronts don't match rears.

Remember, it's not their property and there's no sense of "ownership" meaning less likely for people to care.

So…. Yea. Was contemplating renting mine out. And now I’m not. But Turo should make the owner and renter both do walk around before and after rentals. Would solve a lot of headache. Sorry this happened to you, but looks like you’re super positive and keep that up!

Check the tires to ensure those are the same ones you delivered the car with! What a shame that happened.

instead of wrapping u should get a ppf (paint protection film) nd ppf the tesla your self to protect the paint for future scratches and make it way to easier keep to clean

yeah that's a good idea, plus I'd love to learn to work with PPF. the material is so expensive, but maybe i can justify it in the future :D

Ozone is a pretty cheap and very efficient way to get rid of car smells, the cheapest way is usually a ventilated box with a uvc light. Just make sure you air it out properly after and don't get exposed to uvc light

I feel for you. I used to rent out my Subaru Outback on Turo to help cover the car payments. It seems like half of the renters were good and returned the car in good condition. The other half were messy, and it took me time to get rid of their smell and mess. As you said, it is active income instead of passive income. Back then, I valued my time at $40 an hour. A bad renter would usually cause me to spend 1 - 3 hours to get the car back in acceptable condition. There is no way that I would earn enough in rental money to cover my time. Also, I spoke with Turo support early on, and they said that if a renter messes up a car, I could work with them to have the renter reimburse me. Well, when I took them up on the offer, they said I should have added a rental option for a prepaid car wash. That was it, I was done with Turo.

Forgive me for my ignorance; but are you 100% sure that those are your original wheels? Couldn't the guy have swapped out your good wheels for road rash ones? Reasoning: Why would the hub caps be missing? They literally popped off? Also: Your rear light is messed and your charger? I think parts got swapped out! Can you match serial numbers?

No, I think he switched damaged rims for yours. Mark your rims somehow...like filing 2 notches in the back of a spoke. Hopefully your battery is still the original. Plus this is what people who put their car on Tesla robotaxi will have to deal with.
