Tiktoker Discovers His Tesla Was Used To Test Fit Aftermarket Parts

When most people think about renting a car, they probably think of companies like Enterprise, Hertz, or one of the other big players in the rental car game. That thought process is shifting nowadays, though, as car-sharing apps like Turo lets travelers rent other people's personal vehicles—which in itself is kind of a cool way to rent those electric, luxury, and sports cars that traditional rental companies don't stock. Of course, that comes with a certain risk to the owner.

Recently, TikTok user and owner of a Tesla Model 3, Frank Valdez, rented his car on Turo for the first time and things didn't go as planned. After noticing that the car was parked overnight at an auto body shop, he thought to check in on his Tesla and found that the renter had begun to disassemble his vehicle to—wait for it—test fit aftermarket parts.
