Every Uber video just needs a big [Cringe Warning] label. And how can I better describe the process to open the door?? Luckily, super friendly and interesting passengers, like the last pickup, make it worth all the minor annoyances with others.

man you look so chill and friendly in the presence of total strangers! i know i could never! major props to you especially since you mentioned you had some anxiety
I feel the woman and her child coming out of the hospital so much. It is such a weird time still since COVID and I don't think people really think about how it's affected working class parents and their children and how now in the aftermath we're just doing our best the best we know how and none of us really know what we're doing at all.
It sort of restores my faith in people that so many were friendly and talkative. I'm an optician. It's the worst when people just sit there and look at you

As someone with social anxiety thats always worried that if I talk I will be judged, so I say the bare minimum at appointments, the possibility of being judged for not talking is also quite alarming. Sorry if this seems like an attack, that’s not my intention, but maybe you could do some research on why some people may not want to talk and come to a better understanding (of course it will always be weird to have someone silently look at you, however maybe a reason why might put you more at ease)
Thank you for teaching me how to open a Tesla door. Now when I take my first ride in a Tesla, I will not look like a fool.

In today's Uber, you will learn how to open a Tesla Door!
I could never do this, it's inspiring to see you keep your cool and chat with lots of different people because it makes me feel like I could learn to do it better too. On another note I think you're describing the way to open the doors well, but as others have said, maybe a small sticker that says 'push here' on the large part of the outer handle would help. Not sure what you could do for the inner handle other than point it out because you wouldn't want to make it so obvious that someone would just press it and open the door when you're moving lmao

Watching an introvert be forced to communicate w strangers in the car is completely entertaining! Good job Alex! I like how you said the door was very intuitive, then to the next passenger that it isn’t very intuitive!
Love the convo you had near the end with the mum and daughter. Come along way brother!
I love that you aren’t condescending towards your passengers for not knowing how to open their door😂
Oh Alex this was great. I was cracking up. And then to sprinkle in some “Tesla Uber Ride Confessions” … perfection! I think you are describing the handle operation well (I’ll sure look like a pro should I ever have the chance to ride in one !) Maybe preface with “the handle is a lever”? Or “the big side is actually a button…push that…” And for us introverts who hate to ask for help you could make a little sign with instructions for inside handle? Anyway, I click on your videos first every time I go into my notifications list. If anything my viewing has increased since the switch in content. Keep it up. You’re doing great work!
I love that you’re just living life. This content is the real world, but the genuine interactions make the vibe chill.❤

Loving the videos alex and wow i live in NYC and at times do see a telsa and hey i know how the door works! and using uber (by proxy with family) and lyft twice in like 2017 nothing but respect to those who let strangers into their car!
Ive done doordash in north raleigh since 2020. Cdazy to see you driving to locations ive delivered to! Thay hospital is a memorable one haha. In one of your previous videos i saw you delivering amazon to an apartment complex i go to almost daily. And i believe an old folks home too!
Man the guy that said it was his best ride and seemed so happy didn't even tip, that's a jab if something ;_;
Explaining that every time would drive me friggin nuts. 🤣 You're a saint -A cheap pack of "push here" or custom "1. Push" and "2. Pull"/"Push and Hold" stickers -You could also add some sort of decal that goes around the handle and makes it look like a little outline picture or shape, so you could say something simple like (example) "push the head and pull the tail." 🐍 -Depending on how tinted your windows are, you could just print a little card that sticks on the inside top of your window with a diagram facing in and/or out
This was hilarious. Your whole night was just schooling people on how to operate doors.
I don't know how Alex can keep calm and explain how to open the door from BOTH the inside and outside a 100 times 😬
Love these video btw! These and the cooking videos. Best thing on youtube atm.

I drive a tesla model y for uber and lyft. It's been great so far. Most riders have been great. I don't pickup anyone under 4.7 in the evenings.
The fact that you open your door each time to show them cracks me up. Uber rides are almost exactly the same like 10 things said every time. Many said by your riders lol. I tell them "push on the back part of the handle and it flips open" And "push the button on the top part of the handle there and push the door open with your arm at the same time" And of course they always say "oh sorry I think I rolled your window down a little bit"

I did uber for a while and im a massage therapist. I'm super reserved and would be the person who didn't talk. But , that being said, people open up a lot to me during uber and in my massage practice . People are so interesting and sometimes crazy loll. There was a show called taxicab confessions. On late night HBO, before TV apps late 90s, maybe early 2000s . ;P You could do tesla uber confessions hahaha
Ngl I was struggling the first time I got a Tesla Uber too to open the door 😭
Lmao I hate getting picked up in teslas cause the doors are confusing 😂 I always end up lowering the window & opening the door 😅
Can't you just hang a sign around the passenger headrest with instructions to exit the vehicle? Could also put a small sign in the window for instructions to enter?
When I was living in the Bay Area, I took Ubers a lot. I think around 70% of them were Teslas. They are really popular out there. I did have to ask how to use the door the first time lol
Hey how do I get the door open?
Put a push here sticker right above the back part with an arrow. The rest should be self explanatory.... you'd think at least 😅
I’d probably be asking 21 questions too because I’ve never been in a Tesla 😅
