SO DONE WITH @Uber! It’s a total scam. They offer a ‘Saver’ ride by waiting up to 10 minutes. 25 min later, no driver found. Canceled, then prompted with “Are you sure? We almost found driver”. 10 min later, nothing. So I cancel for an Uber X instead. $5 to cancel. X came in 3min

@Tesla Why does the app keep opening on its own when my phone is in pocket. I’m afraid it’ll trigger control to open trunk.
