If you have the stay within the area filter, I suggest to use it. I live in Vegas and I use it every day because I don’t want to go way out on the outskirts of Vegas. I focus within the airport, strip and downtown/freemont area. I can filter as small as a 5 mile radius to a much bigger radius. With Lyft, you have to be in silver status to get 2 filters. I’m at the gold status, and I get 3 filters. With Uber, I can only use the destination filter because I have not reached platinum status on Uber. I don’t know if other cities or states do the stay within the area filter like Vegas does, but it’s worth it if you are in busy city/state that you can get rides easily anytime of the day. Before I moved to Vegas from California 8 years ago. I did Uber Lyft my first year in OC Cali for one year there from 2015 to 2016. At that time, they did not have the stay within the area filter. I sure wish they did, because I was stuck in traffic with all the major freeways 91, 55, 57, 22, just to name a few. I lived in Anaheim Ca at the time. When someone from the OC wanted a ride to LAX, Hollywood, DTLA, Pasadena etc from the Orange County area, it really sucked to me back then. Having the stay in area filter really helps me out with a lot of things. I plan on getting a EV car within the next 2 years hopefully sooner, but we will see. Thanks for the advice and video. Good job 👍

Thanks for sharing your experience! That "stay within" feature would have been so nice to have. It sucks that it's reserved for platinum only, but that's incentive to get there I guess! Traffic in/near the big cities can be really awful. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best!

I picked up a Tesla Model 3 from hertz today for Uber. Prior picking up the Tesla I used a Bolt. It was super easy, as the Bolt had Carplay. With my phone connected to the Bolt, the Uber App was integrated into CarPlay. As a result, I could navigate/accept trips on my iPhone and bolts screen interchangeably. With the Tesla, I’m needing to put a customers customer’s address in the Tesla navigation separately. Is there a way to make this easier? I’ve seen a device that lets the Tesla’s utilize CarPlay, but I’d like my passengers to get the full Tesla experience on the teslas interface. I’m new to Uber, so please excuse my confusing question.

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 😔
@DriveMiles 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing your experiences! Yes, the financing on my vehicle is a 72-month loan. That timeframe might not make sense for someone who is driving for Uber full-time. To minimize the effects of charging downtime, I definitely would suggest that people take advantage of the charging curve and not waste time charging past 80%. In my experience that rarely takes longer than 30 minutes, although of course it's going to be longer than a gas station fill-up. Electric vehicles in general aren't for everyone at the moment and I'm certainly not recommending every single person to go get one. Hopefully this video helps people who do choose to use a Tesla for ride-sharing to make it a little bit easier and more enjoyable. Thanks for watching!

I've never truly done ride-sharing "full time". If that were the case then I'd assume my mileage would be much higher. I would still see EVs as a viable option for that daily mileage, though at least 1 charge would be needed during the day. I believe most of my tips are applicable regardless of the daily mileage driven.
@davidlee1467 2 ай бұрын
It all depends on your driving style. I drive Uber full time in San Francisco with a Tesla Model Y, I average 110 miles a day, I never take long trips except for the airport trips(which is only 20 mins from downtown SF), I focus on efficiency, I mostly drive short trips that pay over 2 dollars per mile, any long ride (doesn't matter how good it pays,), any ride that crosses the two bridges(Golden Gate and Bay Bridge ), any ride going to the South Bay Area(San Jose),any ride that pays below $2 per mile is a instant decline to me. There are a lot of stops and gos in the city, which is perfect for my car to constantly recharge. I can typically hit $260 in about 9 hours, and still with 30% of battery left. This strategy is only good for Tesla and other EV drivers and drivers that don't need to make a lot of money. Best thing about my strategy is that I don't need to go to a supercharger to recharge during the day, I can leave early work 8 to 9 hours nonstop and be back home and still have 7hours to myself. Putting less mileage on the car also means the car can last longer, but I admit my strategy is not for everyone!

Note, if you get into one of the Tesla rental programs for Uber, you cannot use the standard IRS tax deduction since you don’t own the vehicle. And, if you buy a Tesla for Uber, remember to include depreciation of the vehicle in your deduction calculations. Depreciation is going to add up to over 25 cents a mile. You’re also going to have higher insurance and have to buy tires more frequently. By my calculations you’re barely coming in under the standard deduction rate.

Looks great from the outside but the interior is a dealbreaker for me. I HATE that threre are no knobs and such to conveniently use common functions like gear, volume, wipers and such. Also I do not like that there is no head up display or some other speedinformation directly in front of the driver I find it actually quite dangerous to fiddle around on the touch screen if you want to adjust your wiper speed or airflow. Here in Germany you can actually lose your drivers license if you use the touchscreen to do so and have an accident.

It's not always ideal, I agree. I have gotten used to just using voice commands for most things which has proven to be successful most of the time. That being said it should just always work and language is something that can differ between 2 people, so that complicated things from the coding perspective. I would also like to see a heads up display for speed and directions, but don't entirely mind it where it is. The minimalism has it's pros and cons, but if it gets too extreme it can detract from the overall experience.

@DriveMiles 7 ай бұрын
There are so many variables at play here. If we assume the batteries are good for their suggested 300k to 500k mile lifespan, then it would last between 3.5 to 5.5 years if it was to completely die at that point. That being said, there's currently insufficient data to accurately predict the state of the battery at that point. EVs certainly aren't for everyone just yet, but improvements are constantly being made. I am definitely curious to hear what your maintenance schedule and cost is like for your current driving situation. That sure is a lot of driving!
