A Tesla driver and two kids were burned alive after crashing into a tree because rescuers were unable to open the electronic doors, according to police.
Obviously some people don’t have much choice where there isn’t anything else, but if they have the choice, I never understand why anybody would pay that amount of money for a taxi. If possible, you can also avoid those capitalistic companies by using local transit.
My local transit agency has trains and buses, but no Teslas. They are also charging exponentially less than a taxi that’s backed by equity firms. And much safer than cars. All cars.
plus crazy people, homeless people stinking up the bus, unsanitary where they spit or vomit on the train from time to time. also of matter of principle some riders that cant afford rising fares, will just fare evade, this isnt a problem for people who can own teslas that ride public transport and can afford the fares. last year, in the west coast they went hard on fare inspections.
The last time I called for a ride, the driver was in a Tesla. I’m not familiar with the Tesla models, but I’m guessing it’s the cheapest one. It was so narrow in there. Definitely not comfortable to have three people (who aren’t overweight) in the backseat. It was a bit of a shock compared to my Outback, which is much roomier (I didn’t drive because we planned to be drinking).
Also, it had this screen in your face even in the backseat playing ads or whatever that I was trying to ignore. And it didn’t feel premium. I don’t know why anyone would want that car.
I had read about people not knowing how to use the door handles on a Tesla and I still had trouble using them.
I’d rather not die in a fire in some shitty ass car being sold by a neo-Nazi.
I sure wish ride-hailing apps would let you specify “no Teslas”.

Local transit has downsides. Crime, inconvenient waits, loud music, loud phone talkers, etc.

Do people who can afford a Tesla need to work shitty Uber jobs?
