I did a little Lyft driving in my old Model 3.
There are a LOT of Teslas in this area, so reaction rates may be different elsewhere. About half the passengers didn't say anything about the car. Like BigJohn noted, the ones that didn't say anything were less likely to tip. Another 30% just mentioned it in passing, like "nice car". I had some great conversations with the 20% that asked a question about it. (I tried not to bring it up; the poor passengers just asked for a ride...)
I also noted that younger passengers were more likely to put in their headphones, so no conversation at all (perhaps aside from "nice car"). Most older riders did at least some talking, even if not about the car.
To pick up passengers at SeaTac airport, your car must get at least 40mpg. My car wasn't getting added to the queue. After a couple of calls and an hour on the phone with support, they finally figured out (I had suggested it more than once) that their internal database didn't have an entry for the Model 3. It's there now.
I think it would have been a lot easier if I lived somewhere dense, like downtown Seattle or Bellevue. But I live out on the edge of Issaquah, and I would usually have to wait a bit for a ride (assuming I was accepting all rides; if I was only accepting Lux, I perhaps could have waited forever). Then I'd usually have to drive a ways to get to them. Then they'd usually want me to take them somewhere far away, like downtown Seattle or the airport. I got paid for that, but then I was far away. I was never able to get a matching ride home, so all of that driving was unpaid too.
I was clearly making enough money to pay for depreciation on my LR RWD, but there was precious little to compensate for my time. Making money wasn't my goal, but I'm not going to certify my new P3D for Lyft driving largely because of the time uncertainty. If I wanted to go out and drive for 12 hours, Lyft might work for me. But I typically just want to drive, say, for an hour or two until my wife gets home. More than once I thought "one more ride" which ended up being a ride to the airport (you have no idea how far or in what direction a passenger wants to go until after you accept the ride!) in rush hour traffic, and then a trip back alone through the same traffic - the last one took well over 2 hours total, and put 60 miles on my car, and I got $38 - and I got home long past my target.
