So where I'm at. I bus to work. When I get off there is a decent chance the bus is no longer running. I can try to order a taxi and pay 30-50... if they show (been an issue for longer than I've lived here) or I can order an Uber, which is between 9-13 if it's not randomly "surge". Which I can just walk those 2 miles. I would absolutely love a "no tesla" option

But I'm assuming you would also absolutely love better public transit, right?

You're just making up an imaginary scenario where that's going to happen though. The person just wants to get home.

I'd also love teleportation and a bottomless purse. I also vote for better public transit and that passed years ago. Alas it still seems as likely as my other wishes. I would still love a "no tesla option" too. None of these are changing the other want.
