Another Uber rip off case.
£104 charged for a £25 trip!!

🟢 OMG: Man woke up from Manchester night out with £104 Uber bill - the journey which included two drop offs, was from Manchester City Centre to his home in Crumpsall, totalling just 11.95 miles

It took less than half an hour.

What would usually cost 'around £25' according to Sam, was more than four times that amount when he checked his bank balance, at £104.66.

Manchester Evening News reports that Sam George, 21, has recently graduated university and had spent the night partying at the Factory nightclub on December 27.

Shortly after 3.30am, he and two other friends, who had been to an event at the Warehouse Project, tried calling various taxi companies but were told there was none available.

Then resorting to Uber XL to get home, he has no recollection of how much he was quoted for the trip, but says he would 'never' accept a journey that was so expensive.

Despite complaining to Uber, the taxi company has defended the fare.

Sam said: "I woke up and looked at my emails and just couldn't believe it. I was just in shock.

"It just did not seem right. How could a journey that took less than half an hour cost more than £100?

"I had been out to Factory and grouped together with two friends because we thought it would be cheaper even with just two drop offs.

"We normally use Uber and it is never that much - but this just puts you off wanting to go out.

"I contacted Uber but they told me there was not a problem with the fare. I suspected it may have been the drop offs but they were only a short distance extra."

A quick search by the Manchester Evening News found return flights from Manchester to Dublin, Madrid, Rome and Berlin for under £90 for this coming weekend, January 1-2.

And earlier this month, a student from Fallowfield was charged £80 for a four mile trip home after a night out.

People living in north Manchester have few alternatives to get home in the early hours of a morning, Sam claimed.

He added: "The hilarious thing was, the price of the taxi cost more than the entire night out.

"It really isn't that far so nobody would ever think they would be charged this much just to get home.

"It puts you off going out, but also leaves you with few alternatives because there are no night buses or trams to where I live in north Manchester.

"If you go for a night out, your only way home is a taxi.

"I knew I had been drinking but I still had sense and if it had quoted me that much I never would have accepted the fare. I just can't believe this has happened just two days after Christmas."

But Uber has hit back saying that all fares are calculated and customers are provided with a fee before riding.

On that particular evening, the fare was accepted with a surcharge and additional drop offs were added, meaning the fare was recalculated.

An Uber spokesperson said: "The Uber app uses dynamic pricing to make sure that people can get a car when they need it.

TESLA LOSES CONTROL AND KILLS !!!!

wonder what Elon's excuse will be....

‼ PARIS FIRM BANS TESLA MODEL 3 AS ONE LOSES CONTROL KILLING ONE PERSON AND INJURING 20 OTHERS

Paris taxi company G7 has suspended its fleet of 37 Tesla Model 3 cars after one lost control due to a suspected technical malfunction killing one person and injuring 20 others.

Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into charges of manslaughter and unintentional injury.

The Daily Mail reports that G7 Deputy Chief Executive Yann Ricordel told Reuters the taxi driver, who was off-duty at the time of the incident, was taking his family to a restaurant on Saturday in the Tesla when he lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a van.

The driver then violently collided with a cyclist on Rue D’Ivry, before continuing down the street and mowing over two other pedestrians.

The mayor of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, Jérôme Coumet, is saying the accident was caused by a technical failure of the vehicle, while Tesla stands firm it was the driver who is to blame.

G7 is working with the government to conduct a full police investigation into the accident to determine if it was human error or due to a technical failure of the vehicle.

“Today, we have two divergent views on the subject. We will maintain the suspension of the Tesla Model 3 while the investigation is ongoing, as a safety measure for our drivers, customers and other road users,” Ricordel said.

The driver of the Tesla said the car, for no apparent reason, accelerated sharply while the brakes were no longer responding.

The accident happened at 9pm local time in the middle of a large crossroads in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

Videos taken at the scene show a mangled back Tesla and a white van, which was also smashed, in the road that is littered with glass and other parts from the cars.

The taxi is said to have struck a glass container that was thrown into the air and a traffic light. Pedestrians can also be seen in the middle of the road, with some laying down among the debris on the cold pavement, but people in the Tesla were not among those injured.

A Tesla spokesperson told Le Parisien that the company remains at the disposal of the authorities to give them the data which it can have remotely on the vehicle concerned.

Ricordel said the Tesla Model 3 owners in its fleet would be fully compensated for lost earnings during the suspension and that the company was looking for alternatives so the drivers could resume driving for G7 as soon as possible.
