Lol I told my parents to invest in tesla as soon as it became public. They told me no, I was a kid that didn't know what I was getting myself into. No, parents are definitely not always right lol

@@teku412 Adrian, I wished that I would’ve invested everything into Tesla, but they were expected to go bankrupt when we got our Model 3 in 2018. We bought 15 shares before any of the splits!

@mitchellbarnow1709 better than not investing at all:) I decided to work after school and when I turned 18 got myself a brokerage account without my parents and did it myself. Then got myself into Tesla. Been there 5 years, I remember those model 3 launch days lol tough but I knew we'd make it

@@teku412 That sounds like a great path that you took and it paid off, unless you got cold feed and sold it all?

@mitchellbarnow1709 definitely kept it. And got more from work. But I do think about all that money that could've been made sooner:/

Yes, but I guess the idea is with not doing Uber you're not driving nearly as much, at least for me. When I do drive this gives me the option to avoid the potholes by sticking to roads I know vs where Uber tells me when I don't know the area.

It's much easier to avoid a pothole without a passenger in the car (backseat drivier) who can report you for "unsafe driving"

@@BryceAdvice Uber is constantly making me drive in new unfamiliar areas. It can be unsafe and also I've gotten bogus tickets because the most confusing areas tend to also have a cop waiting around and I've never gotten a speeding ticket, but some neighborhoods are 1ways all over the place or 'do not enter' at certain times but they're not always clearly marked but the ticket can be much worse than speeding.

@@kimpeater1 if you are that finicky about using your car, then don't Uber. Uber set those routes for a reason, they're not perfect but it helps the system predict ahead.

@@kimpeater1 I dont Uber and I drive the same routes 99% of the time. I know where the potholes are and the new speed cameras. People driving for ride share have a lot more potential with these issues. With the new speed and red light cameras in larger cities being everywhere, there are some reports of them malfunctioning and people need to pay the fine or go to court to dispute even though they did nothing wrong. That would be a lot of lost time or money for a Uber driver.

Tru dat!

HUGE fact! 🏌🏾🏌🏾

Exactly bro these people dont know the hustle. Straight quitters if you ask me want everything easy and that aint how it works but hey less drivers no saturation and more rides for us 👌🤣

This video failed to explain that car payment is for 60-70 months and as a full time Uber/Lyft driver your going to put at least 8k-9k miles on the Tesla every month. This video also fails to explain the Tesla will be out of warranty within the first 12 months of ownership with a full time Uber/Lyft driver. The best and ONLY car a full time Uber/Lyft driver should purchase new is a Prius or Camry. The Honda Accord is a good car as well and would round it my top 3 cars for Uber driving full time. NEVER purchase the Tesla used or new it's DEFINITELY not a car that's practical for Uber/Lyft driving full time. I also have to MENTION with the Tesla you'll be watching your life disappear having to fast charge at least 2-3 times a day or every 3-4 hours. This will definitely turn your 8 hour shift into a 10 hour shift every time and there's no way around it. I'm a full time Uber driver in Orlando, Florida and I've rented the Tesla for 4 months straight. I was making $2,100-$2,500 per week driving my personal gas car driving the full 12 hours per daily shift that Uber allows. In the Tesla I'm making $1,700-$1,850 per week and this is due to the constant 45 minutes per charge and charging at least 2-3 times per 12 hour shift. Whoever believes Tesla is the car to use for ride sharing is an idiot 😔

@@sensay813 Agreed. If I were doing Uber it would be with a used Prius from the last generation. The older Prius still get 50mpg and can take the miles of a ride share with cheaper maintenance although they are all getting older now so the window for having a reliable one is closing. Driving an expensive EV can't be making that much money in the end when considering the cost of the vehicle payments. Plus some will need a new battery and that's a massive cost with EV.

Fair point, takes a good bit of Uber to get to that level though. And still the aspect of faster damage to the car over time from Uber vs not doing Uber.

That is not your issue that is the issue of the person who has oversized luggage, order 400 lb butt that needs medical devices that should have been ordering a larger vehicle

This is the car I own. Does not belong to Uber.

What state you drive

@@thayalansuntharalingamNevada , Lake Tahoe Carson city Reno

@@andypeterson2126 ok thanks.

I stopped Uber when this video released, haven't done a trip since

Yeah it's something for sure.

No. Just do daytime rides and you won't have that problem. And yes it's not the thing to do in some expensive car. A Tesla is good for Uber but buy a used one for $25K or less, not a $45K brand new one, that's simply dumb no offense lol.

I've done day time too, like to the airport, gotta wait for thier party to get in the car, load luggage, deal with way too much cologne, etc....all for a crappy tip.@@Dave_Outside

@@Dave_Outsidea used Tesla for 25,000 is going to be old with high miles that’s stupid. Better idea get a hybrid that’s newer with a lot less miles. Camry, accord hybrid

😂

For all those inquiring minds the answer is, yes all citizens of Louisiana are legally allowed to open carry or concealed carry or however they want to possess weapons, including in their vehicle as long as they are 18 years or older, and of course as we all know of course it's against any business policy to take your guns to work,,,lololol you no you can't drive around with your shotgun over your shoulder while having some buddies kid in the backseat that you're getting paid to drive around, even if the hillbilly Hicks state that you live in says you can drive around and Levi cut-offs a wife beater and a gallon of moonshine with your sawed-off shotgun out the window you still can't do it while you're working😮

Speaking of guns I remember when New Orleans flooded or whatever the problem was and all the black people are uprising because they were the ones forced to be underwater and they were trying to leave the neighborhoods and all the white people and the national guard had guns and weapons against them and said " we will shoot or kill anybody darker than a paper bag " that's a quote on the news they were showing black people holding their babies up screaming for help, please feed my baby give us water give us food as they were forced into the Superdome thing where people were getting raped and murdered because they were black😮 I guess that all has something to do with why as you said you're allowed to carry weapons because it's dangerous, but sorry from memory the only thing I know about New Orleans and weapons is white people holding black people hostage in their own neighborhoods with guns with the legal backing of the state government and federal "national guard" government to keep those "black" people in their black communities under threat of their own death of starvation ,didn't BB King himself have to get row boated out by somebody that paddled a boat in there to get him out, I mean how racist is that? you wouldn't even get your own celebrities and people who make that state absolutely famous out just because of the " color of their skin "they had to stay in those neighborhoods, I bet your father reads this and tells you I'm just a horrible racist person gives you a hug and you both go out and do some nice white father-son thing, lol i bet you think you and your father are just the most nicest educated wonderful people I'm positive we could all just go out for lunch and by the end of it you and your father would trying to stomp me to death and shoot me because you can't handle interactions with people so your father trained you and taught you how to buy and use weapons or maybe he didn't train you a lot but just taught you that that's a great concept probably bought for you including your multiple cars but that's a whole nother subject

New law starting July 4th, 2024 allows an individual to carry a concealed weapon such as a handgun on their person without a license. Current law states that the weapon must be visible on your person. However a vehicle is considered an extension of your home in Louisiana therefore you are allowed to carry all the weapons such as guns that you would like to.

Well if they kill me then I guess they wouldn’t be able to drive it huh. Because I’d be dead & the mf still wouldn’t have the pin.
