Tesla & Uber Week 4 Recap | 3 Questions Answered plus Earnings 

But on the model 3 you only get comfort rides, which barely pay anything more than normal rides?

So you’re buying a car that’s twice as expensive, for you to be able to make 10% more on rides?

@@ZavHustles I get way more options than comfort dude

@@ZavHustles i like how you're assuming i got a Tesla JUST for rideshare, i got it for that AND all the other benefits like low maintenance, enjoyability, savings on charging instead of taking it to a gas station. Like bro, i'm going from a boring ass Prius to a Tesla, that ALONE is worth it. Plus, i got my Tesla at a great low price. so it wasn't all that expensive

We always say that make sure whatever vehicle you use, it ca provide as many platforms as possible but never buy just for rideshare. In your situation, the Prius doesn't have many so I agree with your choice here, I support it. The benefits of low operational cost is very good and its fun to drive and offers other opportunities so "let's get this money"!!

It is slower than usual for sure and i seem to be doing ok so yes, I should do better if and when it picks back up. That's the other point that IF I can cover my costs NOW then my purchase will be easier on me in the future but some people don't see it that way HAHA. Gig Wars for life!!!!

I still have to work the actual Hourly numbers, I will get those done for you.

DING DING DING!!! SOMEONE FINALLY GETS MY WHY LOL!!! I have so many comments complaining about why am I renting instead of buying but disregard when I explain it to them HAHAHA.

I agree plus the "app" factor about wanting more EV's on the road for their benefit, gov't subsidies etc. The rabbithole can go deeper!!!

Grind is what we do!! Appreciate ya!!

Back to basics, back to "Army training sir!" (Bill Murray voice).

A Tesla Model Y long range 4 wheel drive is an excellent car for colder climbs. If you can fit a home charger, charge while,you sleep. Set the onboard timer to pre heat the car for your selected departure time in the morning. Fit Cross Climate tires from Michelin and enjoy the stability and security of 4x4 drive which is one of the safest cars ever tested. The heated steering wheel & seats are toasty warm right from the minute you get into the car. Check out National, State and local EV tax credits too.

That I can't answer but @TheDrivenDad drives in Colorado bd I don't think he has had many issues with cold weather, I could be wrong. We are going to get the Rideshare Garage Tesla Edition going by weeks end and will discuss all those issues as well. Hang in there @lamontjackson6922 I know you have been having a rough time up there!!!

​@@VinnyKuzzthat battert is gonna depreciate dont do like i did finance that just for gig work car will be done in 3 uears and i had long range

Careful Vinnie! You keep working out and you'll have to by a new wardrobe!

Bro, i have to find a way to get motivated, I need that summer body before the Rally HAHAHA.

HAHAHAHA

Thank you, we are just trying to help!

EXACTLY!!!! I've been saying this for months hahaha. The further they want me to go pick up, the less drivers in the area. The more trip radars that pop up, the MORE drivers in the area. LFG!!!

Grind is what it is, Grind is the magic bullet!

@@VinnyKuzz yeah I knew that.

How many hours did it take to get $2751 in a week?

@@Shelikesit. 70 to 75 hours

@@amjadpervaiz4453 I appreciate your reply. Thank you!

In Austin, you can!!!!!! The Rally is real!!!

Thank you kindly! We are all in this together!!

Tell em Melvin!!!! They can't hear you in the back!!!!

When you rent a Tesla, you don’t have to pay for the wear and tear. Most of these Teslas once they had 100,000 the battery is toast then you’re looking at 20 grand for a new battery that’s why you have to be a lunatic to buy these pieces of shit cars that got ranked most unreliable vehicle by consumers report their junk

I guess we keep missing the reason WHY i'm renting at this moment but its ok, later down the road it will become more clear LOL.

All cars are made for short term performance these days, none are made to stand and take the abuse of what we do haha.

@@VinnyKuzz That’s not true get yourself a Toyota Camry or Corolla that they will go 500,000 miles which just brakes and oil changes if you get yourself a Tesla you might think you’re making money but once you hit $100,000 and have to put a $25,000 battery in there that’s where it will all go. Gas powered car transmission goes up couple thousand dollars engine rebuild a couple thousand dollars electric vehicle will bankrupt you. They’ve already been studies find the RU-vid videos.

He is not loosing $1000 a month!!! At least he is paying for the rent $500 a week.. $2000 a month!!! He is loosing around $2000 a month!!!!

Our market isn't bad and being right place, right time is paramount!

Thank YOU Sir!!

That's how it should be, you know you're market and know how to go get it. Good stuff!

Agreed but im not wasting miles on my XT6 at this time, its an experiment to see how it goes. My pivot is down so we have to try this while I can. I will not drive my XT6 on lower platforms at all LOL.

I do run 2 phones and I'll always take the best ride available, shut the other app off while doing it to save drive time and NOT SEE if something better comes along LOL.

Make sure you have it checked for all issues! I think its a great idea, good luck and let me know!!! #teslagang

Please understand, there is no correct answer to your question. Such a tough spot as the apps have cut the rates for drivers so drivers are very hesitant to take shorter trips especially considering the wait time at the entrance to Port Everglades. Depending on the size of your traveling group, IF you want to use Uber or Lyft then select a higher platform, XL or above, and that might get the driver who accepts to complete the trip. I don't think they purposely accept trips just to cancel them as its a waste of time to do that alone. This is just my opinion, means nothing but most times its on the apps with the UFP regardless of what the rider is paying (not the riders fault) that has drivers frustrated. Have a great cruise!!

I use DriveWhip. www.drivewhip.com/rideshare/ Make sure to let them know VinnyKuzz sent ya LOL!!

I pay direct through the Tesla app because Im renting with Drivewhip now. When I had the Hertz rental, I had to pay thru Hertz and im sure Hertz is adding a fee to it.

@@VinnyKuzzFCK HERTZ !

So I rent my Tesla from a company called DriveWhip which allows me to drive for all the gig apps, not just Uber. www.drivewhip.com/rideshare/ They offer different types of vehicles so check and see if they are in your area. Tell them VinnyKuzz sent ya!!

I'm not sure, check their website drivewhip.com. They rent all kinds of cars too, not just tesla.

about 40 to 50% yes for now. As I figure out the best times for these types of rides Im taking, working whatever strategy I think will work it should get better. Also with the lower platforms like comfort, I need to take more trips which is the exact opposite of what I do when I drive my SUV. I can say though, Im making the same money as with my SUV but I've saved about $300 on fuel so that's a plus. Once I purchase then I'll save even more but it's a process that I am going thru to figure it out.

Its was about a week when I first signed up so not sure why you haven't heard from them, I dont have any connection other than the rental. I'd keep shooting them emails LOL.

I’m in the same boat it’s been like four weeks for me and they haven’t reached out. I also emailed them several times. I guess they don’t have any cars available? I am in south Florida area

No, has to be the Y or better

In order to drive Lyftt Blk, you will need the Model Y,S or X. The model 3 qualifies for Uber premier if that's in you area. Yes, the exterior must be Black.

Nice, what state are you in? I didn't know city bus drivers made that much

@@LightCodes333 Austin Texas they pay a moving fee to relocate states as well
