Tesla driver and two kids burned alive because rescuers can’t open electronic doors: reports

I sure wish ride-hailing apps would let you specify "no Teslas".
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.
Public transit is basically non-existent for most of the United States.
imagine living in a place with reliable public transportation
So where I'm at. I bus to work. When I get off there is a decent chance the bus is no longer running. I can try to order a taxi and pay 30-50... if they show (been an issue for longer than I've lived here) or I can order an Uber, which is between 9-13 if it's not randomly "surge". Which I can just walk those 2 miles. I would absolutely love a "no tesla" option
Local transit has downsides. Crime, inconvenient waits, loud music, loud phone talkers, etc.
I use Lyft because I am disabled and I cannot walk up and down the hill the mile to the closest transit stop. And yes, it is insanely expensive.
Do people who can afford a Tesla need to work shitty Uber jobs?
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.
no, they are usually that can afford a HCOL area lifestyle(a nice house bay area, seattle, or any of the expensive blue counties), if you see someone driving uber, they might have Spent above thier means with tesla. i once followed Ytubers, where one idiot bought one used above his means, just to mooch of some other "friends" tubers he had"
