I called a taxi earlier. And on a whim, because I’ve seen a lot of Tesla-driving cabbies lately, I told the dispatcher I didn’t wish to ride in a Tesla car.

The guy said “Funny, you’re like the fifth person who asks that this week…”

Sounds like I’m not the only one to have had this idea. I think I’ll request this each and every time from now on: it seems like a good way to hurt Tesla indirectly on the cheap.

    Along similar lines, you can cancel an uber/lyft for free within 2 minutes of booking. If you book one and get a Tesla, you can cancel real quick and try again. Maybe wait a min or two to rebook to increase odds of different driver.

    Probably increases your safety too, depending on how strictly the “no autopilot” policy in the company is enforced, if any.
