The only times I ever ride in a Tesla is when I take an Uber.
Until I'm matched with a driver, I don't know what car I will be riding in. Do you suggest I read the manual for each car I may possibly Uber in?
(I don't carry a window breaker/seatbelt cutter but it is a reasonable suggestion for everyone I think.)
- gcheong 3y agoYeah of course you wouldn’t in the cases where you’re using an Uber or taxi, at least I don’t, and the problem isn’t limited to just Teslas but potentially any car with an electronic door opening mechanism. I assumed we were considering people who own (or perhaps rent) cars and have the manuals for them.
- maxbond 3y agoFor sure, I was more thinking, "people who may become trapped."
- gcheong 3y agoMaybe this is something Uber could add to the app. While you’re waiting from the driver to arrive they can play an in-app video for you going over the safety features of the particular car you will be riding in. Kind of like the pre-takeoff safety presentation you get on airplanes.
- maxbond 3y agoI don't think that's a solution per say but I like it.
- timeon 3y agoIs there driver when you take an Uber?
- maxbond 3y agoSo far.

You can get keychain breaker/cutters if you want to be on the safe side. But be aware that many of the cars you ride in will have laminated side glass and the breaker won't work. If I'm reading the regs correctly, it may have become law in 2020 that all new cars use laminated side glass for at least the front row.
