In Moscow, Russia, these days 1 kWh costs around 6.5 rubles, which is about $0.07... So, back to your numbers: 265 Wh/mile is around 25.8 kWh per 100 miles. That equals 25.8 * 0.07 = $1.8 per 100 miles )))) And there's also a night rate in some areas, which is half the price. That's how it is...

Here in Canada anyway, the cost for insurance for Tesla really outweighs any sort of cost savings that you would get over driving a car like a Toyota Prius or a Corolla. Now if you're the type of person that you want to be driving an Audi or a BMW where your insurance is going to be classed as a luxury brand then yeah this is pretty much apples to apples but that type of consumer who is looking to save money generally is not driving an Audi or a BMW. The new Toyota Prius that gets 70 km of range plus is a really good trade-off even with a commute of 80 km a day. You're paying about 30% Less on insurance or more and your benefiting from EV driving with an amazing 10 year 240,000 km warranty for the battery.

Is there a federal tax credit or rebate on used 2023 though? I thought it was only on new ev’s. I’m in Buffalo ny btw and I’m thinking of either getting a used 2023 model 3 or ioniq 5 which is maybe 2-3k more used

What about the battery wouldn't the batt degrade based on the number of times the car is charged and wear and tear cost . if the car is new 1st year the car will be fine the problem will pop up by closer to 2nd year. considering if the car is driven daily for 12 hrs (uber limit) with daily charging. and depreciating value if you are planning to upgrade.Any thoughts or experiences.

I switched over to drive whip this will be my first time getting a Tesla but I can drive for any platform with no minimum rides basically your leasing the car and they put your name on the insurance and everything so you have access to Tesla app so I’m excited because hertz is a hot mess never again

Can anyone explain all expenses and profits for the driver.? SAFE?😮

Hello Am ask you how much make after pay all. What profit left for you?😮 And how you proof expenses for electricity when you charge car at home. 😮

I use the Uber Hertz rental. And on the days that it's slow, I'll go back and use my normal car. I'm not getting very many trips. I've been noticing it from the last week. It's been really slowing down with this rental. I don't know if anybody else is having this problem. I have 30 trips but I have some with the rental and some with. My daily driver. Will hertz know im using 2 cars for the 30 trips?? We will.soon find out.

I’m sure you regret not waiting for the 2024 M3 Performance

so you cant use waze ?

without carplay how is it with the uber app and waze app?

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. I'm the Tesla in 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 😔

In my area, a Tesla from Hertz for uber costs $280 after 7 weeks of renting one + $210 monthly incentive for renting an EV. You have to take into account depreciation when comparing renting vs buying one, and rideshare and personal insurance, and repairs and maintenance and $250 per tire, etc. In the end, it comes out to about the same as owning one if the weekly rate is under $300, but only if you do it full time. If you do it here and there, renting is not worth it.

why is it even legal to charge that much to rent?

How do you use the Uber rental through Hertz with Lyft as well? Yeah and how much do you pay for insurance on your car and if you buy a new car and use it for Uber, which very few people recommend, your personal car goes through lots of wear and tear on your car and putting 60k miles on your own Uber car a year for 2 years your at 100k miles easily and you have to buy a new battery and with 100k on the Tesla good luck finding somebody to buy it batteries only last about that long…

Hey there, this is Helen from Vicseed. I do really love your great content. We just released the first innovative smart car air freshener scent(with the largest capacity of 135ML in the market), may I know if you're interested in it?

Is good really cause it pays more on taxes

any car close or above $3000 is not worth to drive uber or lyft, Uber/Lyft took 60% of rider payment, and pays driver shitty penny. I think a $500 dollar car is somewhere close to a good car to drive uber

do you think this is a good deal ? for 16,900 .2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD Used·127,387 miles

Could you connect the navigation of Uber to the screen of the Tesla?

The model 3 performance is the best bang for your buck. It’s extremely fast and nimble. I would switch to Michelin pilot 4. However, you want sticky tires on a performance model for sure. Drive safe ⚡️

Thank you for being honest, I have an order for the new refresh LR and I’ve been considering canceling and waiting for the performance refresh to come out. Personally, I’m worried about the tire replacement frequency because I drive a lot!

YOU ARE NOT PRONOUNCING IT PROPERLY! It’s TeSla NOT TeZla!!!

I have one too, but an incredible car

Dude hates speed, wtf dude

This is the biggest scam ever, you have to be a fool to do this, you make no money. You are paying to rent a car.

It was useful. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for the information. Great video. I just want to correct you on one thing. You do have access to the Tesla app. I changed 3 Teslas already and I had access for all of them. You just need to wait like 2 days before activating it by scanning the code bar. I am in Montreal Canada btw but for USA should be the same for sure.

Hmm...Monthly payment + increased insurance costs + Maintenance items (especially tires) + Charging + depreciation + lack of vehicle if in accident VS. weekly cost + charging. It's not yours so if it breaks, not your problem in the long run, just long enough to trade it in and get another. Nor worrying about the depreciation of it after you have put a million miles on it. If you're in an accident, you're going to lose some money either way in deductible. Seems better off to rent IMO, at least when it comes to long-term use. Maybe not in the short-term, but I'm talking a year-by-year use breakdown.

in my scenario I am in a pinch and do need a car. This has been great and zero issues hitting the 435 + 30 trips mark. Normally I do IT and Uber part time. I lost my job about a year ago and struggling to get back to work. Once I am back to work and comfortable with my new role, I will be purchasing a Model Y. I personally prefer the SUV model and sadly Hertz for our location doesn't have the Model Y's anymore. I must say in my own personal experience so far the 2 ladies there have been nothing but nice to me. Helping as much as possible due to the fact that I live in the Springs and rather not drive to Denver for every check in. However, I have heard all the stories at that location and thankfully none have come true for me at least.

Hey Ben amazing video I too live in Colorado however just a little south of you in Colorado Springs. I also rent a Tesla through the Hertz Rental program. I have a Tesla Model 3 long range AWD Dual motor. When I got the car my milage was at 66k. Ive been in one now little over a week and delt with a snowstorm. The Model 3 performed like a champ, even coming down some steep grades in some of our neighborhoods. The passengers were blown away how it handled in the snow. Springs has a solid supercharging network as well. Now that I've been in one for a while - watched a ton of videos to educate myself, i have the confidence in driving this EV in any weather conditions and not feel like I have to stay home and miss the fun. Of course, when it does come to weather I tell any driver to drive with what you feel comfortable in driving. I was part of the Lyft Hertz rental program here in the springs and it was an utter disaster. So much I deactivated myself from Lyft all together. Keep up the good work my man. People need to be informed so they can make an educated decision about rideshare.

I decide to buy a car but I’m not sure Toyota Camry hybrid or Tesla electric? Anyone can help with this please

It’s a $2500 deductible even if it’s your car

but with the rental you dont acquire the wear and tear or have to deal with a 25k battery replacement

You probably regret using tesla for ride share by now.I dare you to share it now.when the battery starts to have issue then you will wish you never use it for rideshare

I'm an uber driver, renting from Hertz and driving around bay area. Here is my tough regarding: I rented a Polestar 2, less expensive than a Tesla and same wow factor. No, does not have autopilot but I don't think will add something to the tip department. The week cost me $414, around day and half of work and the 30 trip is relative here. Some weeks I drive less and Hertz never, ever complaint me. I would never, ever suggest buy a new Tesla unless you want to be chained to Uber for years and years. For me Uber is a temporary solution after been laid off past year. I think the biggest con when you rented from Hertz is you cannot work uber/lyft, you can just work for one or the other but not at the same time. The unlimited personal miles help me a lot. And today, January '24 if you feel compelled to get a personal car to put on the sharing platform, I strongly recommend the Prius hybrid, no electrical car. Less expensive and even better on mostly rideshare situations. Another thing. If you get a car, you pay for the insurance and maintenance and it's more expensive than the Hertz insurance when you report car will be working for uber... plus maintenance. Besides, I don't know any tesla driver without any problem after do uber for 2 years. Cars look beat up and mostly development quality problems and at last, with a rental car, I can use as many miles as I want it but with my personal car, every miles count, and you need to pay attention to street conditions more than a rental car. Everyone have a different situation but for me, until today, the rental car is good.

They are too quiet, can't sneak a fart out

You have ambient lighting in that 2023 performance? Like how it is in the 2024?

Can I use a debit card or it has to be credit card. I was told I can use my debit card , just wanted to make sure ?

Working for Uber is the biggest Ponzi scheme you will be in The pour House all your life while Uber keeps getting rich I done this job and I'll never go back what a shity job

It's hard enough to make money with your own vehicle yet rent one if you do that I guarantee you you will be broke you will be disappointed and you will be broke and working 12 hours 8 day

Yes in my opinion it is a rip-off because you got to put all that money out for rental when you could be putting that money in your pocket with your own vehicle

Holy shit its EXPENSIVE, I upgraded to model Y....including charging about $800 a week. I bought a new Y on the 28th of December...brilliant with the cash bonus by uber. Most importantly as an owner I can multi app.

Allegedly lol

Tell me about how your insurance will going to if driving for uber/lyft

Good shout on all those 👍. I have an M3P which I love but the auto highbeam assist is pretty lazy at going back to highbeam after dipping. Pitch black road but still takes an eternity to reignite! Anyone else get that?

yeah purchase a Tesla for $40000 to make $10000 a year doing Uber

The answer is, f**k no!

I’m running from Hertz it’s about $550 a week

I fully own my second car, a 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. Your video surely shed insight on the numbers. 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.
