    We are 70 years old and have never used Uber, this decreases the anxiety I have about it. My Tesla was in the shop for a few days and Tesla sent me some Uber Credits, I didn't have a clue how they worked, so I bummed rides with neighbors until they could get me a loaner, I had to bum a ride 45 miles to the Tesla Service Center to pick up the loaner. After arriving the Service Tech asked how I got there and I told him, and he said I sent you some Uber credits ($100/day). I felt like an idiot as I gave my neighbor $50. And that's how Tesla handles any roadside breakdowns/accidents or issues. So I have downloaded the app and am ready to go. Is the tipping handled the same as say restaurants, as a percentage of the fare? What's considered a GOOD tip? Thank you so much.

For example, you mentioned you can schedule a pickup in the future, but how do I do this if I'm not at the location where I will want to be picked up? How do I specify a pickup location other than where I'm currently at?

    I appreciate this video, thank you. 🙂 Easy to use the app even for first timers but the reason I watched the video is because of those numbers next to 🙎 icon. And that was covered. But another thing I was hoping that was included is that, if the price covers more than 1 passenger? I guess yes since you mentioned the passenger can split the fare. 🤔

    • @trishadonahue5164

      This is confusing to A LOT of people! It just shows a 4 for passengers, instead of maybe saying "For Up To 4 passangers" or even asking: "How many passengers?".
      Instead, it looks they think you have 4 in your party OR that others will be in the car with you.
      I know a couple of people who were confused by this and tried to adjust it and then just gave up!
      It would be SO EASY to clarify.

      Okay, so you want to see the car, fine. There's no reason to see the driver beforehand. That just leads to racism, sexism, and any other "ism" you can think of. Some customers will start saying they don't want a driver because the driver is Latino, or Black, or Asian, or Arab, or White, or looks of a certain religion, or is a woman, etc. We don't need all that.

    I waited 30 mins while trying to figure out why this app wasn’t working. The last part wasn’t working! I confirmed trip, confirmed pick up spot but inside of saying that a driver may be coming it stayed on the maps and didn’t do anything. I figure no one was available to drive me but the app wasn’t telling me anything
    It really bugs me, I’m mad and want to rant sorry

    Does the phone icon only appear once the driver is in transit? I scheduled an Uber for an event on Friday and it’s a concert venue so I imagine it’s going to be chaotic. I would like one way to communicate with him

    In Brisbane Australia, Uber has become completely useless. The rate of drivers accepting a ride, keep you waiting, only to cancel 1-5 minutes later for something better is rampant, seriously inconveniencing the customer. I have multiple friends and colleagues who do not use anymore because they dont want to stand around for 30 minutes hoping for a ride when cabs/competitors are readily available. And just recently I cancelled on a driver whom after waiting for 7 minutes made a series of wrong turns changing the wait time to *15 minutes* and I was charged 8 DOLLARS for *him inconveniencing me,* but drivers cancel relentlessly with no penalty. Uber was once great and has now become extremely painful to use. Uninstalled.
