That is not your average Uber I bet.
The guy said he was testing the idea of a upscale Uber.
Only in Naples I guess.


My wife's friend just moved to another area and bought a Tesla. Is signing
up with Uber.

The Tesla reliability is catching hell in the latest Consumer Reports. It still tops
the charts in the road tests though.

Consumer Reports is always hard on any kind of performance car.

They gave the Tesla a score over 100. Never did that before. The reliability results
come from the owners who take the annual survey.

I haven't really looked at CR for years but when I was looking at
these things it looked to me that it was more the expectation of the
buyer than the absolute reliability. When I was looking at 2 virtually
identical cars, (like the GM "X" cars) using the same parts, the more
expensive cars got lower ratings than the cheaper one. I just assumed
a Cadillac owner was more of a complainer than a Chevy buyer if the
window motor was a little sluggish or the clock kept bad time.

Lots of Tesla around here. I have a problem with a huge tax credit for
buying a $90,000 car, and driving to Los Angeles you with have to stop and
recharge or do a battery swap at Harris Ranch, or Lebec.
