I spend $1 in gas for every $10 I make. This is a bad rental. Thank for the review. I almost went and got a Tesla rental after seeing this change my mind.
This video is a review of renting a Tesla Model 3 from Hertz for driving Uber. The reviewer shares their experience, including the benefits of lower fuel costs and an extra $1 per ride from Uber for driving an electric vehicle. They also mention getting better tips and enjoying the car's acceleration. However, they note the inconvenience of having to charge the car, which can take around 30 minutes. Despite this, they prefer renting the Tesla over a gas vehicle due to its profitability and nicer driving experience. They paid $665 for the rental and made a significant profit. Overall, the reviewer recommends renting a Tesla from Hertz for driving Uber, especially for those who plan to complete a high number of rides.
Hi, I’m looking to rent a Tesla did you have to pay the deposit also and also what other card will they take if you don’t have a major credit card? Thanks for sharing
Yes, as much cheaper than than gas. However, you do have to take time to charge. And it takes much longer to get to 100% than to go to 80%. The charging slows down for that last 20%. Obviously the best thing is to be able to charge at home. Then, if you do a lot of driving during the day, you probably only have to charge one additional time. But anyway, it’s too expensive to rent one for long term use. Better to save up for a down payment and buy a good used one.
It was good for short term use and to “test” out the Tesla as an option. Agreed that buying one would be the better option for long term use. The charging is a hassle, but did enjoy the chance to take a break during my shift.
you're basically slaving for 5 days straight 10 to 12 hours a day to pay the rental and the hidden fees ( charging that cna go from 15 to 20$ a day + washing the car every 2-3 days ) and you have 2 days left to make the rental reasonable , done that and i'm never ever putting myself in that situation
Fair assessment. It worked out for me because I needed the car, got to drive a Tesla for a couple of weeks to see how I liked it, and made some extra cash.
I had to use the public super chargers. Wasn’t an issue in Phoenix, AZ. The cost of charging was billed directly to Hertz and included in my final bill.
Some of them do include the portable charger, however it is too slow to be of any real use at home. Unless you have a 240V outlet and the adapter for that.
Made about $1800 gross for the week driving an average of 6 hours a day. Rental plus charging cost about $600. Net profit of about $1200 for the week in Phoenix AZ.
I don't see how you can make $1800 doing 6 hours a day. Because a Tesla can only do Uber X, Comfort and green and these 3 options pay basically the same. On average you can do a maximum of 3 trips per hour if doing shorter trips.Getting an extra dollar per trip is irrelevant. I just don't see how you can get to $1800 if only driving 6 hours a day. Is it possible that in your city you guys still have Surge bonuses? Because I would like to think that is the only way.
@@ryanhablitzelYou forget the time to charge. If it takes 1/2 hour and you make on avg $30, you’ll have to add $15 to the cost of that one charge. Walking around sounds great, but it really is working time.
Why not just buy one that's what I did I can charge at home it's a lot cheaper on average it's about $50 a month a lot less maintenance but if you do get one get a long range because the short range I had that for Uber and I spent two times a day at the supercharger the long range I can go all day and charge it at night time sometimes I might put a little bit in it at the supercharger if I feel like I might have want to keep going a little bit more other than that my model 3 I love it perfect for doing Uber
I actually purchased a Lexus Hybrid I drive full time. I only rented the Tesla while the Lexus was the shop. It was convenient since I needed a rental anyway.
I fully own my 2016 Toyota Corolla with only 85k miles that I only drive for part time for Uber. Guess what? I don’t have any kind of car payment on that. If I rented a Tesla, I am sure that my weekly payments would be like I’m paying for a car payment again. It would be high enough that it would also include that car payment plus gas. I rather keep my fully paid Corolla that I only do part time driving for Uber. If I rented, I would have to slave away just to make the weekly payments. NO THANKS.
That makes sense to use your Corolla instead of a rental. It will be more profitable for sure! I used the Tesla rental while my main car was in the shop so that I could keep my side hustle cash flow still going while my car was in the shop.
@@ryanhablitzel I don’t drive the Corolla full time anymore. Ultra part time after a new job opportunity. Forgot to mention that too. As Uber isn’t my primarily income I find myself only doing it on some morning rush hours and some weekend evenings. You know I must say however… Tesla’s are very nice. I would want a Tesla model S one day.
Someone love tapped the door of the Lexus and it had to go off to the body shop for repairs. I tested out the Tesla while the Lexus was being repaired.
Nice video. Also you should consider runflat tires 🛞 they are quite expensive and not everything you can install on a Tesla vehicles cause these are heavier. If you get a nail or something, instead of a quick repair, you would have to buy a new one, wait for a new one, not every tire store has them in stock , and mostly they are not repairable
