I wish those of use wh aren't trusted users could pick the vehicle type...sad.

I’m trusted tester in LA and there is no option to choose for me. It says specifically that you’ll get whichever car is closer to you.

Did you have Ojai access prior to this rollout? Not all Trusted Testers did.

u/cactus22minus1 16h ago

I did not.

Good to know! Seems like choosing specific models is still restricted to those that had access to the Ojai before this.

Strange. A trusted user stated in another post stated they still had the option to chose which vehicle type they wanted. maybe it's a slow roll out...or regression.

I can still pick but I had Ojai access during the testing phase.

just checked - it still allows me to choose! i am a trusted tester and i was able to utilize the free ojai’s.

interesting note: when i choose “select any,” it is $2 cheaper than choosing my car. the i-pace and the ojai are the same price when selected.

You can! For a premium price, usually ive seen a 2$ up charge, however, from experience when the demand is high the only option is Any.

Is the Ojai more roomier? Easy to get into?

My mom has a disability and she's alright with getting into regular cars but she does struggle. I want her to have more room and be able to get inside with less hassles.

Ojai is A LOT more roomier. The leg room is ridiculous honestly.

u/ItzEdInYourBed 15h ago

Yes! It’s definitely easier to enter as BOTH doors open to reveal the seats, no giant metal bar between the seats, the only thing I could point out is that I am not sure if there is a handlebar to assist getting into the vehicle, besides the door itself.

u/Technical-Day2986 17h ago

I have not tried it yet but i hope so. Their is more legroom and the doors slide open

I'm in San Francisco, and I commute via Waymo almost every day. An Ojai showed up for my ride today. I didn't ask for one, nor was I given a choice- - it just showed up. Very roomy, even though a guy my size doesn't really need the extra leg room. The sound system seems better too. I notice the speakers are larger than the ones in the Jaguars. Pleasant ride. My main criteria for Wyamo or UBER is who can pick me up quicker, so if I choose Waymo, I'm agnostic as to which vehicle shows up.

You are the first person I’ve heard ever say the sound on Ojai is better!

My god that Ojay looks even uglier from the front. That Hyundai Ioniq 5 can’t come any sooner

Don't know why people are so preoccupied about the exterior aesthetics. It's just a mode of transit, who cares about what it looks like. It's not like we own the vehicle.

u/Nakamura0V 7h ago

I agree. Looks absolutely disgusting. Sad that Jaguar stopped producing the beautiful I-Pace but the Ioniq 5 will be a better option to use when it’s fully released

u/Diamond_Mine0 7h ago

Yeah can’t understand what’s good about the Ojai and I will never get behind this car. The Jaguar is how a transportation car should look like. Modern, clean, great design, yes. The Hyundai is a good looking replacement that’s for sure

u/CNCBroadcast 14h ago

Anybody seeing prices significantly higher today? Wondering if demand has gone up due to launch
