Had no choice but ride in a Uber Tesla, actually in it now I made it clear ro the driver no auto drive. But this thing having no manual door handles is concerning. If it wssnt 90 degrees out and I was stuck 20 miles from home I had rather walked. Really wish we had public transit. But no stuck in this death trap.

Anytime I get one as an Uber I try to play stupid like I can’t figure out the door handles. Slam the doors, pull the emergency door release (if there is one), push against the motorized door close mechanism. Ask if there’s a shade for the glass roof. Anything to remind the driver that it’s not a good car, especially as a taxi.
