Tesla Cabbie

Stories from a Tesla Mini Cab driver...

Now stories from an MG ZS.

Had 2 guys in the car last night. Their conversation started off with different ways to wash the bum, bidet, spray, etc.

Things you hear as a Cabbie..... 🙄

At the end of the ride the Uber SatNav announces, take the right turn and drop of "Customer Name"...

Customer: how does it know my name?

👨‍✈️: you booked the ride, you tell me. 😂

@VerisureUK please train your staff in ev charging etiquette. Someone left a Vauxall eCorsa plugged in at Bagshot BP Pulse charger till it was full and the charger disconnected it, but the guy wasn't around to unplug or move the car.

Had a lovely grandmother in the car. Last Christmas came on the radio and she excitedly shouted. "Oh my God, is that Last Christmas, volume please. That's my favourite"

I obliged. She thanked me and squeezed my shoulder before leaving.

It's nice to spread joy and cheer.

Do people think the seat belt dings are jingle bells? Some people just ignore it.

I skipped a 50kW charger on the way to this rapid 20 minutes away for this. 🙄

Have been struggling to charge the car today. At one instance the charger was empty but the app said ccs2 is in use for 40 minutes. Must be a cloaked car. Sorry I parked over you. Had to call BP to start the charge. And then it stopped midway again. I want to blame @MGmotor.

@eu_bike I think he meant "colourful", but was saying meaningless.

Had this family in the car the other day. The people in the back were having a loud discussion. The Fairytale of New York was playing in the radio. The guy in front(i think he was the Dad) asked to increase the volume and started singing along. "I love this song", he says.

This girl who I gave a ride with her boyfriend was asking too many questions, sometimes getting too personal. The boyfriend was, "Babe, stop. It's not 20 questions. I'm sorry man, she's a bit drunk".

@TeslaStars @Fastned Will do thanks.

Looking for a charger in a Tesla, easy just press the lighting bolt icon. All Tesla chargers have a reasonable price and good charging speed.

Looking for a charger in an MG.... Open BP Pulse, check if anything is near. Too far, repeat with Chargepoint Electroverse.

@BobMuir @MayorofLondon No. Some of these on street rapid chargers are installed by Mayor's office. There are other networks too, but most of them were either too far or slow ones.

[Tesla Cabbie @CabbieTesla]

London has these charger installed by the @MayorofLondon. So I tried them as I needed charge. They are bloody expensive and have short cables. I had to reverse the MG out of the bay for the cable to reach the nose. Paid £40 for 42 kWh.

I heard Uber worked with Tesla to display job cards on their infotainment screen..... what about on Android Auto Apple Carplay for those non-Tesla drivers?

[Tesla Cabbie @CabbieTesla]

Bless the lady who gave me £5 tip in cash for a 20 minute ride.

One of the ways to slow EV transition or to not have the customer buy your brand again is to make EVs that charge slower than 100kW if I'm being honest. They see how long they waste their time during a long journey compared to brands that charge fast & 👋 👋
