I Would Pay a Fortune to Never Have to Ride in a Tesla Again

54% Informative
Uber and Lyft trips have felt like riding in a broken Tilt-A-Whirl , with me swaying in the back seat, trying to not throw up before I can get the window rolled down.
When I order a car on Uber or Lyft , I speak a silent incantation into the sky hoping for any car other than a Tesla .
All I want is for me, an innocent cherub in the woods who doesn't have a driver’s license, to be able to avoid this car entirely.
A rideshare app would never expect me to take a ride home from the club in an ambulance, a school bus, or the apple that worm drives in Richard Scarry books.
