Don’t become a driver

Do you have an Instagram?

If your intrested in being an uber driver I highly recommend don't do it.

​@troyeastman9500 agreed....promise you you will not make any $.....uber bus is comeing...lol.. Public transportation and city employees that have been there for yearz....watch out!! Better stop it before it starts....these people ( UBER) NEED to be in jail

Let's start NOTUBER rideshare

The cost for a level 2 charger ?

i kind of wish I got the bolt to see what it was like. What was the range on it/ can you drive uber for 6-8 hours without charging?

@@IndigoBassNotes The charger came with the car and the installation for the plug at my house was covered by my electric company. So free. There are quite a few incentives around for EVs still, just have to look.

@@Driver_Eddie For how I drive in my market, I would be able to get easily 250 miles on a 100% charge. I usually only charge to 90% to save the battery. I rarely drive more than 200 miles in a 8 or 9 hours day. But that's just me. I have the larger Bolt EUV also for reference. I had a regular Bolt before this and that got even slightly better range. For right now, I would never buy an EV if I had to rely on public chargers. Even charging at level 1 (regular 110v outlet) is more appealing than public charging even though it is crazy slow. The cost of public is just not justified.

hahah maybe i just needed to drive it a little longer and i wouldve converted haah

😐

lol... did he find alot of guns?

@@Driver_Eddie just one and it might have been a hundred dollars I can't remember but it was around ten years ago.

I’ve done rental for both and honestly they both pay you less but Lyft is way worse

whaaat!

Just buy one used for like 20k - e.g. New Corolla Money. Drivetrain warranty is 8 years on a Tesla, where as Corolla only gets 3 years basic warranty only.

well said!

​@@rkan2this doesn't help people who clearly don't have 20k or less laying around. Hence the purpose of considering renting a car in the first place.

If the only perk is priority to swap vehicles then fuck no. We can see how much reservations mean to Hertz from the beginning of this video, so I wouldn't trust that "priority".

They have different levels of insurance coverage, liability, property damage, etc. I personally think that it’s worth getting just the CDW especially if you’re getting into a Tesla. As long as you’re not letting other people drive and you’re not driving drunk, driving recklessly, you’re basically covered for any damages to the Tesla while you’re in it. I’ve run over low parking curbs and islands because I was rushing or coming out of a steep driveway and bottoming out. I can only imagine what kind of undercarriage/battery cover damage that would do to a Model 3 while doing gig work. Plus you’d be covered if someone hits your car while you’re driving or if it’s vandalized while it’s parked. It’s pretty expensive but trust me, body shop costs are about 3X to 5X more expensive with a Tesla than with a regular gas car. The CDW daily cost is expensive but it’ll give you peace of mind to enjoy the rental while you have it. Plus it’s a complete write off from your earnings. I say go for just the CDW. If you’re not going to take any coverage, make sure you photograph every part of the car’s exterior and interior. Make sure every little scratch or damage is noted on your contract before you drive off. I’ve seen rental agents compare your original contract and charge you for damages when you turn it in even if they were preexisting conditions but weren’t noted on the contract. Regarding credit cards that cover rental cars, I would seriously look at what kind of coverage your card issuer actually provides. I’ll say this much: unless you’re paying an annual fee of several hundred dollars and your card gets you into luxury airport lounges, it’s probably very basic coverage or coverage with a lot of conditions and exclusions. Pretty sure one of the exclusions is using the rental car for gig work/Ridesharing. Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture X. Really appreciate how you break down your earnings and hourly rates. Would be great to estimate what your taxes would be after all the expenses, like if you just took that one week’s earnings and then deductions and estimated taxes. Also would be great if you could talk about how you manage dead miles with apps like Stride etc. Great video, thanks for posting!

thanks Chad!

i hear that, but before a shift i'd prefer to have a full charge for max range

haha didn't mean to lump you in !

i was actually just reading about how Hertz is scaling their Tesla rentals back bc it is so expensive to maintain bc of how much uber drivers drive haha excellent point about the passengers liking the car, i forgot to include that

I’m pretty sure he was covered by insurance the whole time, because Uber covers you when you’re on the way to the rider and during the trip. The rest of the time would be personal use and covered by the credit card company that he paid for the rental with.

honestly... the cheaper these used Tesla's get there's a little voice in my head telling me to get one haha

@@Driver_Eddie Do it and milk it :P Tesla videos done at least somewhat right or with a particular view on things - get a lot of view. Milk those whoopie cushions!

my weak ankles aren't cut out for that life haha

daaaammnnn, thats more disrespectful than no tip at all haha

0 years lol?

I've learned that going from 80% to 100% is slower, but as an uber driver, I wanted to make sure I had full range before a shift

i believe it... i kept thinking if I was working on a regular week it wouldve been brutal

so true and so sad how that is what we expect out of them now. it really is anything they are doing, my thought is well that's not going to help drivers ha

👋

def not typical

Thank you for your kind and insightful input

​@@Driver_Eddie nice autogenerated reply. doing it for the clicks it is.

yes. the same way it is easier to walk for 1 hour than it is to stand on your tip toes for 1 hour.

honestly the more i did this project that's all i could see

no

Everything in nature has a reason. Two sexs, reason : Procreation. You can find a reason for everything with every living creature. If no reason evolution removes it. What it the reason homosexual people exist ? Not hating , its a real question. What practical fuction does a gay person serve in human biology ? I asked this respectfully to many , no answers yet. A mystery.
