Prices, not income
A strong price band means renters are quoted more per day for that model — nothing here estimates demand, bookings, utilization, or what a host will make. Carconomics does not observe how often a car rents.

“Best” here means one measurable thing: which Teslas command the strongest observed price bands near Chicago O’Hare. Models are ranked by observed price facts only — median daily rate, published band spread, and listing count — from repeated direct observation of real Turo quotes.
Listing-equal medians at the 3-day duration; spreads are the cohort’s published p10–p90 deciles. Cohorts with 10–29 listings are labeled thin context; anything below the support gates is left off the ranking, not padded in.
The order above is a price-evidence fact, and it stays exactly that.
A strong price band means renters are quoted more per day for that model — nothing here estimates demand, bookings, utilization, or what a host will make. Carconomics does not observe how often a car rents.
No host, listing, or manufacturer can pay to appear, move up, or push a rival off this page. Host Pro interest data feeds nothing on it.
Nothing on this page is for sale. When freshness or listing-support gates fail, ranks are withheld with the reason shown — never quietly backfilled.
Three observed facts, read together, beat a single headline number.
The listing-equal median daily rate at 3-day trips — each listing counts once, so one heavily quoted car cannot tilt its model’s number.
The p10–p90 band shows how differently the same model is priced across hosts. A wide spread means trim, year, and hosting choices carry real price weight.
n= is the number of distinct listings behind the figure, with its fresh share. Thin cohorts (10–29 listings) are labeled so a small sample never reads as a strong market fact.
Top Picks ranks individual tracked listings by durable price value — the renter-side reading of the same observations.
