Let's say I am driving around and next to me shows up a BMW X5 M-series. That is a 4
wheel drive, pretty suped-up car. As I roll I have a chat with the guys in the bimmer.
They seem nice and are curious about my Tesla. We don't get to any red lights so we
decide to do a rolling test run. I touch the "settings" button, "drive" tab then flick it
from "sport" to "X". While rolling at let's say 35mph. As we keep driving, a passenger
gives a fingers countdown. 3-2-1-GO. I floor it, the bimmer driver floors it.
I leap forward. He is left behind in a roar of supercharged and tyre noise. Suddenly I
am at the speed limit and lift off. He catches up, we smile at each other. I exit the
main road and go on my way, feeling pretty smug, with a grin on my face. Maybe
they'll get themselves one. I hope they do.

ever pick them up."Uber claimed that it used X to deny service to individuals
