Yea, but uber is still a single occupant, single destination situation.
A taxi/uber is not the same thing as sharing a bus or train, interact with strangers and wait for the vehicle to get to your 'Stop'.

You won't have to ride with strangers. You'll call a car, and it will take you to your destination. Same thing as uber, less the driver.

That's not entirely true - many people "Uber Pool" these days. But that's probably not important to the conversation.

I'm thoroughly convinced that there is nothing that CP can't argue about.

Apparently someone found a way to flip one.

She was reportedly driving at an excessive speed and lost control in a turn. The vehicle jumped off-road “and flew 25 meters [82 ft] through the air” and crashed in a field at full speed before rolling over at least once. It takes a lot of speed to flip a 5,000 lbs Model S with a low center of gravity, but fortunately and despite the severity of the crash, none of the 5 occupants in the Model S died. They were all able to exit the vehicle without the help of the first responders, though their injuries were described as “serious but non-life threatening” and they were transported to the hospital by helicopter. Pictures of the accident show that the front-end of the Model S is completely destroyed while the cabin itself remains whole. This highlights the importance of a large crumple zone, like the Tesla Model S’ front trunk (frunk), something easier to design with electric vehicles due to the lack of engines and the use of smaller motors. Local German newspaper, Merkur, shared a few pictures of the impressive crash: An engine in the front could have exercised pressure on the passenger cabin, but the lack of engine in the font of the Model S acts as a giant crumple zone to absorb the energy of the impact. Tesla CEO Elon Musk likes to use the analogy of a pool to describe the effect a crumple zone has during an impact: “it’s just like jumping into a pool from a high diving board — you want a deep pool and one without rocks in it.” Hopefully the 5 young adults recover quickly and can learn something from this accident. |

So are these things 100% electric? I have a Prius, and it's obviously not 100% electric, just battery powered. I would think if it was 100% electric that would be a pain in the ass to always find a plug in etc. Don't want to read entire thread. Lazy. How far do these things go on a single charge etc?
