Who uses their Tesla to drive for Uber? How do you explain how to open the door?

[DblClickTheStk]

I am thinking about driver for Uber. I have weekends off and would be nice to make a few extra bucks. Could maybe pay for my lease payment by driving.
I am just concerned about passengers not knowing how to open the door handles. How do you deal with this? Do you just roll the window down and explain to them?
Is there some kind of aftermarket part that can make the handle more like a regular car door handle? Seriously what does Tesla have against door handles?

I use a window sticker that shows how to open the door. It works pretty well.
I bought it on amazon. Amazon.com: How to Open Tesla Door Handle, Window Decal Sticker for Uber and Lyft Drivers - for Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X: Kitchen & Dining

I put red stickers inside and out. The outside one said Press and the inside one said Door Open. It worked for most people.

I do Uber Eats and tried out rideshare for a couple weeks, but decided it wasn't for me. I did get some stickers for the inside or just told them to push the button at the top of the handle and push the door at the same time. For the outside, I would just roll the window down and say "Push the fat part and pull the handle" Seemed to work well.

“Push the fat part” is what I tell people.

Push the fat pull the skinny

You could use it as a test: If people can't figure out how to open the door, maybe you don't want them inside the vehicle

"push the fat part of the handle in, and pull on the handle"

Love it...the 'fat part' lol!

 

[KenC]

I tell em, push the fat side with your thumb, like opening a wine bottle in a restaurant.

 

[mightymouse]

Push the big, pull the little.

Here is a long write up someone did and posted here about driving for uber and lyft:

Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3

I wrote the below throughout 2019 and the first few months of 2020. When the pandemic hit in March 2020 I stopped rideshare (both as a driver and rider) and am now considering whether to get back into it once I'm vaccinated. Hope you find the essay below interesting (or helpful if you're...

Doesn’t your lease have mileage limits? You don’t fear going over by driving for Uber (and therefore negating the money you make)?

All leases have mileage limits, but if you go over you simply have to pay for the additional miles at whatever the pre arranged rate is.
