And an update...
Since Tesla offered to Lyft me to the BART station to get to the airport this morning, I asked to be picked up at 7:50am. All was set, but the driver showed up a full 10 minutes early and I wasn't ready. I sent him a text to let him know that he could start the ride and I'd be out in five minutes. He called and hadn't read my text. He said he couldn't wait and asked me to cancel.
I couldn't cancel since the ride was requested by Tesla. But I quickly tried to find another driver nearby. No dice.
Uber also had a 15 minute wait to get to my house. I don't live in the sticks... But I guess demand just isn't there.
Anyway, I ended up asking a family member to drive me, which was inconvenient and embarrassing as a grown up to have to do.. but I am without the car I planned on having by now.
So now I'm paying $12 for a one-way ride and get to stand - with my luggage - for 45 minutes before the herd thins and I can sit. Mind you, I'll be on my feet the whole day for work, so this is why the exorbitant fee and disgustingness of BART is irritating.
Rant over. Thanks for letting me vent this morning!
Crossing my fingers that Tesla can get things right on Thursday...
