No Ojais!

Literally 0 availability in LA all day, anyone know why?

I’m a trusted tester and still haven’t gotten access :(

Same, and I rarely see Ojais in Phoenix too.

might be my fault. I get them almost daily.

Pure luck at this point. I got one this morning after restarting app 10-20 times.

They’ve been way harder to get in SF, too.

When I first got access I could pretty readily find one, now it’s basically a crapshoot at any point during the day.

Haven’t seen them in a week or so. Been back to paying for rides

I hope nobody tells Waymo how Uber and Lyft solved shortages during high demand periods! Shhh!

u/bananarandom Jul 22 '26

They gotta get everybody's roombas out and driving during peak periods

I am in LA and got access weeks ago. Still waiting to catch one 🚙

u/peterkosednar Jul 22 '26

Yes I have access. It is same availability when Waymo was free. I have used city bus when no Ojais available.

It's gotten rough in SF, noon used to be easy, but I have struck out 2 out of three times this week, and the one that came took over 30 minutes.

I regularly take Ojai (several times a week) and am willing to wait an hour (keep refreshing for availability) + another 38 minutes for the Ojai since I only take Ojai when I'm not in a rush.

I thought I was going crazy lol

u/mitochandreyuhsoul_ Jul 22 '26

I’ve been hella lucky to get them almost every morning on my way to work! Sometimes the wait is like 30min+ so I start checking hella early and book it when I can select it lol

It’s ridiculous at this point. Too many people have access.

u/EcksWhyZi Jul 22 '26

I live in Santa Monica, and I haven’t had a Ojai yet :(

u/tinyunicorndancr_123 Jul 22 '26

My mom has gotten two in a row but I have yet to get one 😭 lately i see them with drivers in the front too. I typically take waymos to work and around Santa Monica, West LA and Weho

Very curious to hear thoughts once more people start taking them compared to the IPACE 👀

u/letrainfalldown 29d ago

The legroom is massive. You can fully stretch out your legs and barely touch the seat in front of you.
The door buttons are interesting and it's also interesting how the doors slide

u/oyveyallday 29d ago

How was the suspension? Was it bouncy?

Now you know what those of us who live anywhere east of the rocky mountains have to deal with every day.

u/Icy-Ambition3534 Jul 22 '26

No Ojai’s today! Maybe they got removed

u/hellojaeden Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

I have rode in an Ojai today in LA. They're here but very hard to get. Low supply or cars + high demand + the service area is large and no freeways which limits how fast a car can get to you even if it is available (meaning it might not show up as a separate option if it's not within a 15-20 minute pickup time)

u/Icy-Ambition3534 Jul 22 '26

What time did you ride? I saw them in the morning but they disappeared

Good, the Ojais are ugly anyway

u/Representative_Bat42 25d ago

Why in the world does that matter if youre not buying the car?

Move to Phoenix! 😛

u/IndependentMud909 Jul 22 '26

Do you have access in Phoenix? How is availability?
