Just an update for the colleagues who wonders:
They merged x and comfort

But but but...
Ok, so they merged Comfort and UberX.
But that doesn't mean that those cars which were Comfort cars are still Comfort cars, just offered under the X category now.
No no no!
Several models were dropped from Comfort a few months ago. Search the posts on Uberpeople.net and r/uberdrivers.
My Uber-specific rentals from Zipcar, available in Boston and some other cities, dropped the Chevy Bolt EV I rent from the Comfort category in early 2025. Now only X rides for the same car, and I don't think I get the Priorty rides, either.
Sure, Comfort is still available to certain drivers with cars which still qualify, and as you said will now get offered under the X option.
But some or many cars which had been Comfort eligible are no longer, and won't get offered just because the X category is selected in the app.
I don't know if drivers whose cars were dropped from Comfort were even notified.
At least all of the above is just my understanding.
