I posted this because I’ve read many horror stories about using gig-work apps.

One example is someone in the SF Bay Area that used an to find a verified dog sitter while traveling. All seemed fine until the dog was returned. It was a DIFFERENT dog.

Another example is apps like UBER/LYFT to get a ride. I now hear ads on the radio from lawyers looking to represent those that have been harassed, molested, or raped.

I would trust my child with anyone found from an app.

Most US citizens do not have a passport and I’m sure a large number have lost their birth certificate.

Too be fair many EV conversions are bespoke works of art. Price is not a major concern for the owner.

Agreed. A lot of the EV conversion companies use Tesla parts.

These can be purchased online. Friend has one.
